Is there a plugin to monitor docker swarms?

Post by montr3245 »

Is there a recommended plugin to monitor docker swarms? The existing plugin “check_docker.py” (used by the Nagios XI wizard) doesn’t seem to take into account docker swarms whereby the container names change when the containers restart (container names are not static), monitoring mgr nodes, etc. Any suggestions appreciated. thanks!

Hey @montr3245

Unfortunately since check_docker.py doesn't have these functionalities then we don't have a way currently. The docker wizard/plugin is on our list of things to update and I will make an issue for it with your requests. You can check the exchange and see if anyone made a plugin that meets your need for the time being or if you're feeling really adventurous you can make a plugin/copy and modify the existing plugin to match your needs. I'll add some links to the exchange and our plugin guidelines if you want to take a look.
