Docker module
editDocker module
editThis module fetches metrics from Docker containers. The default metricsets are: container
, cpu
, diskio
, healthcheck
, info
, memory
and network
. The image
metricset is not enabled by default.
Compatibility
editThe Docker module is currently tested on Linux and Mac with the community edition engine, versions 1.11 and 17.09.0-ce. It is not tested on Windows, but it should also work there.
The Docker module supports collection of metrics from Podman’s Docker-compatible API. It has been tested on Linux and Mac with Podman Rest API v2.0.0 and above.
Module-specific configuration notes
editIt is strongly recommended that you run Docker metricsets with a
period
that is 3 seconds or longer. The request to the
Docker API already takes up to 2 seconds. Specifying less than 3 seconds will
result in requests that timeout, and no data will be reported for those
requests.
In the case of Podman, the configuration parameter podman
should be set to true
.
This enables streaming of container stats output, which allows for more accurate
CPU percentage calculations when using Podman.
The Docker module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:
metricbeat.modules: - module: docker metricsets: - "container" - "cpu" - "diskio" - "event" - "healthcheck" - "info" #- "image" - "memory" - "network" #- "network_summary" hosts: ["unix:///var/run/docker.sock"] period: 10s enabled: true # If set to true, replace dots in labels with `_`. #labels.dedot: false # Docker module supports metrics collection from podman's docker compatible API. In case of podman set to true. # podman: false # Skip metrics for certain device major numbers in docker/diskio. # Necessary on systems with software RAID, device mappers, # or other configurations where virtual disks will sum metrics from other disks. # By default, it will skip devices with major numbers 9 or 253. #skip_major: [] # If set to true, collects metrics per core. #cpu.cores: true # To connect to Docker over TLS you must specify a client and CA certificate. #ssl: #certificate_authority: "/etc/pki/root/ca.pem" #certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem" #key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
This module supports TLS connections when using ssl
config field, as described in SSL.
The following metricsets are available:
