Docker stats are different than OpenShift metrics

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Running 'docker stats' on the node shows different memory statistics than Hawkular Metrics or Prometheus does.
  • Since the amount of memory consumed according to 'docker stats' is less, using 'docker stats' as a metric for tuning resource limits and quotas results in OOM events.

Environment

  • OpenShift Container Platform
    • 3.x
    • 4.x
