Docker collectd

A collectd docker image that configure itself using the docker api and gather metrics about cgroups and linked containers.

Usage

You need to run this image with two volumes :

• docker socket : for querying api
• groups : for gathering metrics about other containers

Also, the collectd will attempt to connect to a carbon compatible host using the following environment variables.

• CARBON_PORT_2003_TCP_ADDR
• CARBON_PORT_2003_TCP_PORT

docker run -v /mount/run:/var/run -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/mount/cgroup --link graphite:carbon -ti qay.io/dstendardi/collectd

Roadmap

Add automatic collection of different metrics using detection of environment variables.

• apache
