Summary

The growing popularity of Docker has led many enterprises to containerize their applications, with over 75% of global organizations expected to be running containerized applications in production by 2022. As a result, the demand for dynamic container monitoring has become more urgent. The Docker Monitoring Template offers a simple solution to this problem, providing visibility into container performance and enabling proactive issue detection, frequent changes, and optimized resource management. This template uses the Docker Telegraf plugin to collect metrics stored in InfluxDB, which are then visualized in an included dashboard, allowing users to track key metrics such as number of containers, network traffic, CPU usage, and memory usage. The template is easy to install and build, with many contributions from the InfluxDB community, and can be used to optimize resource allocation and improve operational costs.
