Based on the output, it looks like the console line rewriting failed, so it continuously printed on the same line.

What shell and terminal/console were you using?

Do you have a specific base container you were using or was it just a generic Alpine image?

@mikelle-rogers can you see if you can repro this behavior?

[WeihanLi]

Just a generic docker alpine image, I use the docker image with tag mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1-alpine, used with the original shell with sh command

[josalem]

used with the original shell

Was this the console on Windows, Linux, or Mac? And specifically, was it a special console like iTerm2 on macOS or the new Windows Terminal on Windows?

[WeihanLi]

I used ubuntu terminal on wsl2 and powershell 7 both on windows terminal.
And also on our rancher temp container terminal(not sure what it is)

[mikelle-rogers]

I tried to repro this behavior on a Windows computer, using an ubuntu terminal on wsl2, but line rewriting worked great. What version of ubuntu were you using?

[WeihanLi]

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04

[josalem]

Out of curiosity, is the container running locally on your machine or are you connecting to a container on a remote machine?

[WeihanLi]

The container is running on remote machine, it's running in a kubernetes cluster on aws

[mikelle-rogers]

Does running dotnet-trace, in the same environment as dotnet-counters was running in, exhibit similar behavior?

[WeihanLi]

@mikelle-rogers sorry for my late response, no, dotnet-trace collect works as expected, and dotnet-counters collect also works,
dotnet-counters monitor is the only thing I meet that does not work.
And besides, I can reproduce it on my Windows 10 with PowerShell Core 7.1.4 and Powershell 5.

I'm having the same problem, with that same image, when i connect to the container using Portainer. Other tools like top or htop work just fine.
