Documented steps

  1. Run podman stats to stream resource usage for running containers, refreshing every 5 seconds by default.
  2. Include all containers (not just running) with podman stats --all; target one with podman stats <container-id>.
  3. For a one-shot snapshot use podman stats --no-stream.
  4. Get machine-readable output with podman stats --no-stream --format=json <container-id>.
  5. Select columns with a Go template: podman stats --no-trunc 3667 --format 'table {{.ID}} {{.Name}} {{.MemUsage}}'.
