Docker - Logging and Monitoring

You run docker stats --no-stream my_container but get an error: Error: No such container: my_container. What is the most likely cause?

AYou need to add <code>--all</code> flag to see stopped containers

BThe container <code>my_container</code> is not running or does not exist

CDocker daemon is not running

DThe <code>--no-stream</code> flag is invalid

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the error message
The error clearly states the container my_container cannot be found, meaning it is either stopped or never created.
Step 2: Check other options
The --no-stream flag is valid, Docker daemon errors would be different, and docker stats does not support --all to show stopped containers.
Final Answer:
The container my_container is not running or does not exist -> Option B
Quick Check:
Error 'No such container' means container missing [OK]

Quick Trick: Check container existence before stats command [OK]
