Cadivsor tries to monitor systemd .mount units via docker

[hanikesn]

In my logfiles I see a lot of errors like the following about every minute:

Oct 20 11:45:08 ip-10-128-32-121 dockerd[12654]: time="2016-10-20T11:45:08.958795388Z" level=error msg="Handler for GET /containers/012467134e116e692a6218b7534b78b826f0f6ef3dc2d99c99956e43f66277ac/json returned error: No such container: 012467134e116e692a6218b7534b78b826f0f6ef3dc2d99c99956e43f66277ac"
Oct 20 11:45:08 ip-10-128-32-121 dockerd[12654]: time="2016-10-20T11:45:08.959105963Z" level=error msg="Handler for GET /containers/dbf71d333d65340ea108f9dc8778a9e06c70173ba799c6fb38da5885d853bf89/json returned error: No such container: dbf71d333d65340ea108f9dc8778a9e06c70173ba799c6fb38da5885d853bf89"

It turns out that these uuids belong to .mount units from systemd:

   CGroup: /
           └─system.slice
             ├─var-lib-docker-overlay2-012467134e116e692a6218b7534b78b826f0f6ef3dc2d99c99956e43f66277ac-merged.mount
             ├─var-lib-docker-overlay2-dbf71d333d65340ea108f9dc8778a9e06c70173ba799c6fb38da5885d853bf89-merged.mount

It turns out that these queries originate from the cadvisor plugin in kublet.

I'd like to monitor the error rate of API calls to the docker deamon and this makes it impossible and I think cadivsor should be smart enough to know about .mount units and monitor them appropriately.

It my case it's a devicemapper mounts

This generates about 18 000 msg per hour on a cluster with 125 pods.

same problem

[fahimeh2010]

same here, use overlay2 as docker filesystem

Can confirm, happens for me on a DigitalOcean Droplet with Ubuntu 16.04. I'm using docker-compose:

[maikotz]

same problem. any updates on how to prevent this?

[derekwaynecarr]

I think this should fix #1573

[fahimeh2010]

@jaylinski it works for you?

[jaylinski]

@fahimeh2010 I can't tell yet. I'm waiting for the fix to be released in a stable image (https://hub.docker.com/r/google/cadvisor/tags/).

Hi folks ,
I found this thread and I had the same issue :

level=error msg="Handler for GET /containers/7586102c883e87f63588bf45a761edaf39f3338e63c1646fbc4e39a8534bccaa/json returned error: No such container: 7586102c883e87f63588bf45a761edaf39f3338e63c1646fbc4e39a8534bccaa"

For 24 hours I had 28,800 error message , of course not with the same container ID :P , I use cadvisor as a container cadvisor:latest , I switch for cadvisor:canary (3 Mars 2017) and it fix my problem .
No more error log :)

I'm very happy, so THANKS a lot for your work !

I know the issue is close , but for other people like me who found this thread this FIX WORK !

Do you have any idea when this fix will be include in the stable release ?
