Csysdig Overview

###Universal System Visibility With Native Container Support

##Csysdig is essentially a simple, intuitive, and fully customizable curses UI for sysdig

Csysdig leverages the sysdig collection system, but exports it in a user interface that you can imagine as a combination of many popular command line monitoring tools: tools like strace, tcpdump, htop, iftop and lsof.

Just like sysdig, csysdig natively supports containers - cleanly and elegantly. Run csysdig in its own container, or directly on the host machine, for full visibility into all the containers running on the machine.

Csysdig is part of the sysdig package, so it will be included when you [install sysdig] (http://www.sysdig.org/install/) on your machine.

Here are some resources to get you started with csysdig:

• A 3 minute video offering a good overview of the tool functionality.
• The man page
• An [overview of the csysdig architecture](Csysdig View Format Reference), which explains how csysdig works and how to customize and extend it.
