  • Get Container Status: Get detailed status of a Docker container including health, exit code, uptime, restart count, and OOM status.
  • Get Container Stats: Get a resource snapshot of a Docker container: CPU, memory, network I/O, block I/O, and PIDs. Useful for diagnosing OOM kills and memory leaks.
