Container CPU Usage vs Throttling Percentage
Detect/Diagnose CPU throttling for containers
This dashboard has two panes to view Container CPU and Container Percent Throttling on the same graph.  This allows you to see containers which could be subject to CFS throttling and could require their CPU limits increased.
