Methods and systems for monitoring containerized applications are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a containerized application that includes application program instructions and application runtime environment components is installed within an application server. An application manager determines an operational configuration of the containerized application within the application server. The application manager determines a monitor container image based, at least in part, on the determined operational configuration and an application container image of the containerized application. The application manager installs the monitor container image as a containerized monitor application that includes monitor program instructions and monitor runtime environment components that operate as a distinct execution unit managed by the same virtualization engine and the operating system kernel that manage runtime processes of the containerized application.
