Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Docker Stats receiver currently collects various metrics about running containers (CPU, memory, network, etc.) but does not expose the container's current status (running, paused, exited, etc.). This information is valuable for monitoring and alerting on container lifecycle events.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a new metric container.status that reports the current status of monitored containers with the status as an attribute.

Metric Details:

• Name: container.status
• Type: Gauge (Int)
• Unit: 1 (dimensionless)
• Attributes:
  • status: Enum with values: created, running, paused, restarting, removing, exited, dead
• Enabled by default: Yes
