Abstract

A container system and a monitoring method for the container system are provided. The container system includes a plurality of servers and a master server node. The servers are arranged in N areas. The master server node is coupled to the servers. The master server node selects one of a plurality of servers in an ith area to be a main node of the ith area. The main node collects temperature information of the servers in the ith area to transmit highest temperature information to the master server node. When the master server node cannot connect to the main node, the master server node selects one of other servers connected to the master server node in the ith area to be a replacing node, and adjusts the replacing node to be the main node of the ith area to collect the temperature information in the ith area continuously.
