Monitoring cgroup resource usage — CPU, memory, I/O, and network — is essential for container orchestration, capacity planning, and performance debugging. This guide compares three open-source tools for monitoring cgroup resource consumption: <strong>systemd-cgtop</strong>, <strong>cgroup-tools</strong>, and <strong>libcgroup</strong> utilities.</p>
