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

The docker plugin uses the excellent docker engine-api library to gather stats. Documentation for the library can be found here and documentation for the stat structure can be found here

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.
