This section defines the 'Container count' metric as the number of running containers per host within the monitored environment. This metric is crucial for understanding workload distribution across hosts and helps identify potential bottlenecks. By tracking the container count, administrators gain insights into host utilization and can proactively address performance issues. Monitoring this metric is essential for maintaining the stability and efficiency of the containerized environment, allowing for timely adjustments to resource allocation and ensuring optimal performance. Analyzing trends in container counts also provides valuable information for capacity planning and forecasting future resource needs, enabling informed decisions about scaling and infrastructure management. The provided image visually represents the container count metric and its display within the monitoring system.
