docker agent or binary install? #2722
|
I have a few machines that I have installed the Docker agent on which works great, but unfortunately we know this does not collect some data from the host machine such as available updates, etc... 
If I switch to the binary install, does the latest binary agent now include data from docker containers as well? Or should I install both agents? Just looking for best method to get the most out of Beszel on a machine running docker containers but also want information from the host. I mostly run individual Ubuntu servers with Docker installed on them (I know this could be done differently but there was a method to my madness :)). |

Yess the binary agent will collect stats about the container running on that host. It monitors the same and even more compared to the docker agent. |

ah okay! was there a time "a long time ago" where the binary agent wasn't able to? no problem switching all my docker based agents to binary after i ensure on a couple test machines that this does in fact work :) |

The binary was always able to monitor docker stats as far I can remember 😅 |

ha ok no worries! it works, so saves me some resources where i stupidly installed docker on a system that didn't run any containers... just to run the beszel container haha |
