What is the difference between container and containerID option under process properties in the PG naming rules.

Hi Moses,

Can you give some more information around what you are asking for?

The only process group properties I am aware of that refer to the container are around the container name ie "Docker Container Name". I am not aware of a Process Group Property in PG naming rules that specifies the container ID.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,

I was also looking for information on this, and my search lead me to this old unanswered question.

Container ID I believe is a unique identifier for the container, basically just a very long unintelligible string. But the property "Container" is a bit unclear to me. When looking at a container's properties, I see:

• Container image name
• Container name
• Docker stripped image name

All of them have different values. So which of them is "Container", if any? There is no property named just "Container".

Hi,

Having investigated this a bit more, it looks like Process Group displays "Container". And Process Group Instance displays "Container name". So essentially Container == Container name? Maybe just an oversight..?
