# apptainer-instance-stats(1)

Get stats for a named instance

## NAME

apptainer-instance-stats - Get stats for a named instance

## SYNOPSIS

**apptainer instance stats \[stats options...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

The instance stats command allows you to get statistics for a named instance,\
   either printed to the terminal or in json. If you are root, you can optionally\
   ask for statistics for a container instance belonging to a specific user. If\
   you add --no-stream, you will only see one timepoint. Asking for json implies\
   the same.

## OPTIONS

**-h**, **--help**\[=false\]\
 	help for stats

**-j**, **--json**\[=false\]\
 	output stats in json

**--no-stream**\[=false\]\
 	disable streaming (live update) of instance stats

**-u**, **--user**=""\
 	view stats for an instance belonging to a user (root only)

## EXAMPLE

```
  $ apptainer instance stats mysql
  $ apptainer instance stats --json mysql
  $ apptainer instance stats --no-stream mysql
  $ sudo apptainer instance stats --user <username> user-mysql
```
