Docker Monitoring

A comprehensive Docker monitoring solution that combines Grafana with multiple observability tools to provide complete visibility into your Docker environments.

Overview

This project sets up a monitoring stack for Docker environments using:

• Grafana: Visualization and dashboarding

• Prometheus: Metrics collection and storage

• Loki: Log storage

• Tempo: Tracing collection and storage

• Pyroscope: Continuous profiling

• Alloy: Log collection

• Docker Exporter: Custom exporter for Docker metrics

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed

• Basic understanding of Docker and monitoring concepts

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/blackprism/docker-monitoring.git
   cd docker-monitoring

2. Start the monitoring stack:

   docker network create docker-monitoring_public
   docker-compose up -d

3. Initialize Grafana with data sources and dashboards:

   chmod a+x setup/init.sh
   ./setup/init.sh

4. Access Grafana at http://localhost:3000 (default credentials: admin/admin)

External Service Monitoring

• Metrics Monitor metrics of external services running in a separate Docker Compose project

• Tracing Trace for services deployed in a distinct Docker Compose project

• Profiling Profile services deployed in a distinct Docker Compose project
