# Docker Input Plugin

The docker plugin uses the docker remote API to gather metrics on running
docker containers. You can read Docker's documentation for their remote API
[here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.20/#get-container-stats-based-on-resource-usage)

The docker plugin uses the excellent
[fsouza go-dockerclient](https://github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient) library to
gather stats. Documentation for the library can be found
[here](https://godoc.org/github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient) and documentation
for the stat structure can be found
[here](https://godoc.org/github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient#Stats)

### Configuration:

```
# Read metrics about docker containers
[[inputs.docker]]
  # Docker Endpoint
  #   To use TCP, set endpoint = "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
  #   To use environment variables (ie, docker-machine), set endpoint = "ENV"
  endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
  # Only collect metrics for these containers, collect all if empty
  container_names = []
```

### Measurements & Fields:

Every effort was made to preserve the names based on the JSON response from the
docker API.

Note that the docker_cpu metric may appear multiple times per collection, based
on the availability of per-cpu stats on your system.

### Tags:

- All stats have the following tags:
    - cont_id (container ID)
    - cont_image (container image)
    - cont_name (container name)
- docker_cpu specific:
    - cpu
- docker_net specific:
    - network
- docker_blkio specific:
    - device
