Add a Docker Monitor
Monitor your docker containers with the Site24x7 Linux Monitoring agent and track these dynamic, rapidly scaling containers from a single console. Various performance metrics are provided to monitor the docker hosts and all the individual containers.
Add Docker Monitor
Auto-discover docker application once the agent is installed:
- Log in to Site24x7 and go to Server > Docker > Docker Host (+).
- Copy-paste and execute the command given in the Site24x7 web client to download and install the Linux agent. The command given is independent of the OS architecture: 32-bit or 64-bit.
Once the agent is installed, it will auto-discover and add the docker monitor and all its containers under Server > Docker > Docker Hosts and Containers respectively. Do you want to disable auto-discovery of containers? Read on to know how.
Rediscover Docker monitor: In the absence of the docker monitor in the Site24x7 web client or if it has been deleted previously, you can enable it using the rediscover applications feature. Go to the specific Linux server's Summary tab and hover on the hamburger icon beside the display name. Click on Discover Applications in the drop-down to start monitoring docker again.
Performance Metrics
Monitor Docker container performance using different metrics from a single console.
Licensing
Each docker host will consume one host monitor license. The first 10 containers on each host are free. After that, every 10 additional containers require one host monitor license, i.e. 10 containers = 1 host monitor.
1 docker host + 10 free containers = 1 host monitor
If you have 110 containers to be monitored,
1 docker host + 10 free containers + 100 Containers = 1+ 10 host monitors = 11 host monitors
