Description
I'm looking for a way to associate running containers to an alloc id. This is for general debugging, or for example to use tools like https://github.com/google/cadvisor
I experimented with the label solution, where I add this to my HCL:
```
config {
labels = "${NOMAD_ALLOC_ID}"
}
```
Also, the container name seems to contain the alloc id in it, e.g. `${task-name}-${nomad_alloc_id}` in the output of `docker ps`.
I'm sure the ContainerID is kept track of in the code - is there a way to print this information from `nomad alloc-status`? Or `nomad node status`?
Is that useful? e.g. `nomad alloc-status ${alloc-id}` to print the actual container ID (if it's using the Docker driver).

Research direction
Start with the `nomad alloc-status` and `nomad node status` CLI entry points, then trace how the Docker driver’s ContainerID is tracked for an allocation. Done means determining whether that ID can be exposed in the requested status output, with behavior limited to Docker-backed allocations.
