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 = []
  ## Timeout for docker list, info, and stats commands
  timeout = "5s"

  ## Whether to report for each container per-device blkio (8:0, 8:1...) and
  ## network (eth0, eth1, ...) stats or not
  perdevice = true
  ## Whether to report for each container total blkio and network stats or not
  total = false
  
  ## docker labels to include and exclude as tags.  Globs accepted.
  ## Note that an empty array for both will include all labels as tags
  docker_label_include = []
  docker_label_exclude = []
  
  ## Which environment variables should we use as a tag
  tag_env = ["JAVA_HOME", "HEAP_SIZE"]

Measurements & Fields:

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

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