DockMon is a simple, cross-platform desktop application for monitoring and managing Docker containers, built with Python Tkinter. It provides a real-time overview of container status, resource usage, and convenient management operations—all in one place.

• View Logs: One-click access to the latest 50 lines of container logs.
• Uptime Display: Accurate running time shown in days/hours/minutes/seconds.
• Resource Charts: Real-time charts for CPU, memory, and network I/O (requires admin/root privileges).
