Best Docker Container Monitoring Tools - Free and open source

Other than all the dialogue repetition, a nice selection of tools

make a video on how to deploy and configure checkmk please

I recommend to take a look at HowRU monitoring, that runs nagios plugins inside docker containers. It has an json api with a Nagios plugin and can also export to Prometheus metrics.

Thanks for the video. My only complaint is that you say these tools are free when they clearly are not. I have no issue about paying for good tools but I don't like false advertising.

Thanks..this information is really helpful for me

Happy to see Check MK getting a mention :)

Do you know if any monitoring tools for windows docker engine, not for docker desktop?

Which Zabbix template did you use? I struggle to get it to work.

Great presentation, very interesting and useful

Using windows and putty? 😂😂😂

Thanks for sharing the tools. I have used Portainer in the past and like its features. Checkmk looks promising as well. Will give it a try.

Huh. Didn't know about Glances.
[a few moment later]
And now it's running on all my Docker servers (and Asus LockerStor 4) with links to the various Glances in my homepage. And now I see I need to set memory limits on my containers.
[a few more moments later]
And now all my Docker containers have set memory limits so one can't eat up all the RAM in my system and crash it out.

I like the docker desktop on Synology and portainer. Looking at glances in the video of yours. Looks way less organized. Hopefully the others look better

Thanks ! I'm working a lot with Zabbix, and I have a couple of apps running in docker, but I never thought to monitor my docker with Zabbix. Really appreciated to monitor my docker ressources via Zabbix

I still don't see the appeal of Docker. It looks like just another layer of complexity for no real benefit. It doesn't seem to play well with other web apps, and using non-standard ports so that several Docker containers can do their web thing is sub-optimal to say the least.

I did some tests with prometheus, grafana and a host-monitoring-template named node exporter and a docker-monitoring-template named cadvisor. This gave me a very comprehensive overview over the usage of ressources and running processes. Really beautiful, too. There's a plethora of metrics that can be collected and displayed using prometheus and grafana, but the setup takes little time and without templates for grafana it's kinda hard to organize and build a dashboard.
The solutions that you've presented in this video are a great an easy starting point, though!
