Prioritize Designated Containers

To get the most out of Sysdig Monitor, you may want to customize the way in which container data is prioritized and reported. This topic helps you understand the default behavior and sorting rules, and to implement custom behavior when and where you need it. By prioritizing containers, you can reduce agent and backend load by not monitoring unnecessary containers, or if encountering backend limits for containers, you can filter to ensure that the important containers are always reported.
