How do you check the health status of a running container?

To check the health status of a running container, using the command to inspect the container provides a comprehensive overview of its configuration and status. When you execute the docker inspect [container_id] command, it returns detailed information in JSON format, including the health status of the container if a health check is defined. This allows the user to see the current state, along with any health check results that have been defined in the container's configuration.

In contrast, the other options do not correctly retrieve the health status of a container. The command that attempts to reference a status with docker status [container_id] does not exist in Docker's command set. The command docker health [container_id] is also not valid, as there is no dedicated health command. Additionally, while docker ps -q --filter "health=healthy" filters containers based on their health status for visualization, it does not provide the detailed status for a specific container. Thus, inspecting the container gives the most complete and accurate information regarding its health status.
