+cTop - A CLI Tool For Container Monitoring
+======
+Recent days Linux containers are famous, even most of us already working on it and few of us start learning about it.
+
+We have already covered article about the famous GUI (Graphical User Interface) tools such as Portainer & Rancher. This will help us to manage containers through GUI.
+
+This tutorial will help us to understand and monitor Linux containers through cTop command. It’s a command-line tool like top command.
+
+### What’s cTop
+
+[ctop][1] provides a concise and condensed overview of real-time metrics for multiple containers. It’s Top-like interface for container metrics.
+
+It displays containers metrics such as CPU utilization, Memory utilization, Disk I/O Read & Write, Process ID (PID), and Network Transmit(TX – Transmit FROM this server) and receive(RX – Receive TO this server).
+
+ctop comes with built-in support for Docker and runC; connectors for other container and cluster systems are planned for future releases.
+It doesn’t requires any arguments and uses Docker host variables by default.

+
+### How To Install cTop
+
+Developer offers a simple shell script, which help us to use ctop instantly. What we have to do, just download the ctop shell file at `/bin` directory for global access. Finally assign the execute permission to ctop shell file.
+
+Download the ctop shell file @ `/usr/local/bin` directory.
+```
+$ sudo wget https://github.com/bcicen/ctop/releases/download/v0.7/ctop-0.7-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/ctop
+
+```
+
+Set execute permission to ctop shell file.
+```
+$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ctop
+
+```
+
+Alternatively you can install and run ctop through docker. Make sure you should have installed docker as a pre-prerequisites for this. To install docker, refer the following link.
