Weave Scope lets you monitor and control your containerized microservices applications. By providing a visual map of your Docker Containers, you can see the dependencies and communication links between them.

Scope automatically detects processes, containers, hosts. No kernel modules, no agents, no special libraries, no coding.

This scenario explains how to map and visualise connections between your Docker containers.

This scenario has explored how you can use Weave Scope to visualize and explore the containers running on a host.

To install Weave Scope, run the following commands:

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/scope \
  https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/releases/download/latest_release/scope
  sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/scope
  sudo scope launch
