# 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 = []
  calculate_percentages = false
```

### Calculate Percentages

Optionally percentages can be calculated for cpu and memory usage.  This uses
the same calculation as the 'docker stats' command line tool.  Set this option
to 'true' to enable this feature.


### 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
