Real-Time Container Logs Walkthrough

Real-Time Container Logs replaces complex workflows with a few clicks. Here's the process.

1

Navigate to Monitoring

Open the monitoring section from your server dashboard.

2

Configure Thresholds

Set up your monitoring preferences and alert thresholds.

3

Command Line Life

Doing It Manually Without Real-Time Container Logs

Think Real-Time Container Logs is overkill? Here's the alternative: raw terminal commands and manual config files.

1

SSH into your server

Connect to monitor your server.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
2

Check CPU and memory

View server resource usage.

terminal
top
# Or for a snapshot:
free -h
df -h
# Now try to parse this at 3 AM when something's down
3

Watch container stats

Monitor container resource usage.

terminal
docker stats
# CONTAINER   CPU %   MEM USAGE
# app         45.2%   512MiB / 2GiB
# db          12.1%   1.2GiB / 2GiB
# Press Ctrl+C to stop watching

No historical data. No alerts. No graphs.

4

Set up alerts manually

Write a script to check and alert.

terminal
# Create a monitoring script
nano /opt/scripts/monitor.sh
#!/bin/bash
CPU=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2}')
if (( $(echo "$CPU > 90" | bc -l) )); then
  curl -X POST https://your-webhook.com -d "CPU HIGH: $CPU%"
fi

# Add to crontab
crontab -e
# */5 * * * * /opt/scripts/monitor.sh
