CLI Machines Docker Top

ed machines docker top

Reads the processes running inside one container, using the same command and parser as the app's Processes tab.

ed machines docker top <machine> <container> [--json]

Arguments

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
<machine>	machine name, ssh alias, id, or unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine to ask.
<container>	container name or id	required	Which container's processes to read.

Options

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
--json	flag	off	Emit a stable array instead of the process table.
--help, -h	flag	off	Print help and exit 0.

Plain output has PID, user, CPU, memory and command columns. JSON uses the stable keys pid, user, cpuPercent, memoryPercent and command. Percentage values remain strings because docker may return platform-specific sentinel text.

The shared operation first requests explicit process columns and falls back to the platform's default docker top layout. It has a 30 second timeout and keeps the order docker returns.

Examples

ed machines docker top tuf api
ed machines docker top tuf api --json | jq -r '.[] | [.pid, .command] | @tsv'
