Solution

Display a live stream for the statistics of all running containers:

docker {{[stats|container stats]}}

Display a live stream of statistics for one or more containers:

docker {{[stats|container stats]}} {{container1 container2 ...}}

Change the columns format to display container's CPU usage percentage:

docker {{[stats|container stats]}} --format "{{.Name}}:\t{{.CPUPerc}}"

Display statistics for all containers (both running and stopped):

docker {{[stats|container stats]}} {{[-a|--all]}}

Disable streaming stats and only pull the current stats:

docker {{[stats|container stats]}} --no-stream
