Container name is not presented about cadvisor HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for filling the issue! Yeah we need to add support for names, it
looks hard to read otherwise. Will track with this issue.

Probably image names is more helpful?

As far as I know, container ids are generated automatically by docker (is there any way to specify a container id in docker run?) This id is not very friendly even if we can use its prefix.

People could recognize their containers by seeing image names, e.g. ubuntu, google/cadvisor, etc.

However, since it is possible to run several containers with same base image, image names will not uniquely identify a running container. Probably we could provide image information about a container on the page?

@monnand you can use the --name flag to give the container a unique and memorable name. I think that is what this issue is refering to

I see. I'm working on it.

Assigning to @monnand since he wanted to work on this.

this is particularly useful if you are running a service across several hosts and want to display all runtime metrics on 1 or several graphs.

Was this really fixed? I still only see the ID instead of container name

It is, but I'm guessing you're running on a systemd system in which it is
not working? That is #143 unfortunately.
