Loop to echo out container stats to a file
This was helpful to get an initial impression of the resource requirements of a couple of running containers before migration to a new infrastructure environment.
for i in {1..2880}; do
echo "------ $(date) ------" >> docker_stats_CONTAINER_NAME.txt;
docker stats $(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep 'CONTAINER_NAME') --no-stream >> docker_stats_CONTAINER_NAME.txt;
sleep 300;
done
