What is Trayce?
Trayce is a simple yet powerful command-line tool that provides a clear and interactive view of network traffic within your Docker containers. Think of it as a dedicated “network tab” for Docker, giving you insights into:
Incoming and outgoing connections: See exactly which ports your containers are listening on and which remote hosts they are communicating with.
Packet details: Get detailed information about each packet, including source and destination addresses, port numbers, protocols, and timestamps.
Real-time updates: Monitor your network traffic live as it happens, capturing transient connections and identifying potential issues.
Filtering and sorting: Easily filter and sort your network traffic by various criteria, such as protocol, source IP, destination port, and timestamp.
Why Trayce?
Simplify debugging: Uncover network-related issues within your Docker containers by visualizing traffic patterns and identifying bottlenecks.
Enhanced security: Monitor your containers for suspicious network activity and quickly identify potential breaches.
Faster development: Understand the network behavior of your applications and optimize their performance.
