🧠 Usage

Basic usage

dockmon [--verbose]

• --verbose flag enables detailed logging to /tmp/docker_monitor.log.

How DockMon works with tmux

When not in a tmux session, DockMon will automatically create a new tmux session named docker-monitor with two windows:

1. monitor: Displays the real-time table of Docker containers.
2. script-logs: Tails the log file /tmp/docker_monitor.log.

• l: Open logs for the selected container (in a new tmux window).
• b: Open a shell in the selected container (in a new tmux window).
• up/down: Navigate through containers.
• q: Quit the monitor.
