What is cAdvisor?

cAdvisor by Google provides real-time resource usage and performance metrics for running containers. It exposes data through a web UI and a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint.

Run cAdvisor in Even

Even Stacks launches cAdvisor as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find cAdvisor in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8700, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://cadvisor.localhost.

Drive cAdvisor with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate cAdvisor directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open its dashboards in the browser pane, read the metrics, and set up alerts. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up cAdvisor and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Open http://localhost:8700/containers to browse per-container CPU, memory, and network metrics. The REST API at /api/v1.3/containers/docker/{id} provides programmatic access to the same data. Read-only and stateless; all metrics are pulled live from cgroups with no persistent storage.
