A computer-implemented method for providing cloud resource monitor interfaces for containerized applications includes portraying a hierarchy of monitored cloud resources and identifying a request to display system metrics for a selected set of monitored cloud resources in the hierarchy. One or more application tools associated with the selected set of monitored cloud resources are discovered. The discovered one or more application tools associated with the selected set of monitored cloud resources are portrayed in a first window where each of the one or more application tools are represented by a corresponding symbol presented in the first window such that the one or more application tools can be selected. The one or more system metrics of each of the one or more application tools portrayed in the first window using at least one attribute of the corresponding symbol of the one or more application tools such that system metrics of the one or more application tools can be compared so that a comparison results in a selected set of application tools being determined. A request to display summary system metrics for the selected set of application tools based on the comparison and portraying summary system metrics for the selected set of application tools is identified in a second window.
