Docker Integration

Docker is a popular open source container platform. This integration uses cAdvisor, which provides container users an understanding of the resource usage and performance characteristics of their running containers. It is a running daemon that collects, aggregates, processes, and exports information about running containers to the Wavefront proxy.

In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs a dashboard. Here’s a preview of some of the container charts in the Docker dashboard by host.
