Monitoring our cloud systems is a great start, but what about the visibility of the containers themselves? Although there are a variety of cloud monitoring and visibility tools, Sysdig stands out for its ability to dive deep, not only into system operations, but specifically containers.

Sysdig is open source and is billed as a universal system visibility tool with native support for containers. It is a command line tool that provides insight into the areas we looked at earlier, such as storage, network, and system processes. What sets it apart is the level of detail and visibility it offers for these process and system activities. Furthermore, it has native support for containers, which gives us a full picture of our container operations. This is a highly recommended tool for your container operations arsenal.
