CHECK_DOCKER_STATS

Introduction

check_docker_stats shows the docker resources of containers. This check sends performance data.

Requirements

  • docker Docker must be installed
  • jq must be installed - commandline JSON processor
  • bc must be installed - an arbitrary precision calculator language
  • sudo permissions on docker command
icingaclient ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/docker

Includes

Additional needed files in the current folder that this check can run:

  • inc_dockerfunctions.sh
  • inc_pluginfunctions

Rootless docker

It works with docker setups as root and can handle rootless docker instances.

To bring it up and running with an unpriviledged icinga user it must be able to access docker. Copy the docker binary eg. from /home/dockeruser/bin/docker to /usr/bin/. Then use the parameter -p /usr/bin.

If DOCKER_HOST is not set then the docker socket is detected from a running docker instance and will be fetched from the process list.

______________________________________________________________________

Show resources of running docker instances.

This check provides performance data except on mode "all".

USAGE:
  check_docker_stats [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:

  General:
  -h, --help        this help
  -d, --debug       Debug; Flag: show docker env values.

  Connect to docker:
  -p, --path        Custom directory for docker binary
  -t, --target      Custom docker target; value for DOCKER_HOST
                    Needed only if Docker does not run on a unix socket or
                    multiple users run a rootless docker daemon.

  mode:
  -m, --mode MODE   Mode what kind of information to show.
                    The output of container list is sorted by the maximum 
                    value first.

                      all       default; This view is unsorted.
                                This check has no performance data.

                      cpu       CPU usage total of all containers
                      mem       Memory max usage of most consuming container

                      memtotal  sum of memory usage
                      netio     sum of netio of all containers IN and OUT
                      blockio   sum of blockio of all containers IN and OUT

EXAMPLES:
  check_docker_stats
    Show stats of all containers

  check_docker_stats -p /usr/bin
    Show stats of all containers. The docker binary will be searched in
    given path first - then in all other dirs of $PATH

  check_docker_stats -d
    Show stats of all containers and json with docker env infos.

  check_docker_stats -m cpu
    Show cpu usage total of all containers. The container list is sorted
    by cpu usage. The most consuming container is on top.

Parameters

None.

Troubleshooting

Missing environment

sudo: sorry, you are not allowed to preserve the environment
UNKNOWN: No data. Unable to fetch Docker information.

Solution: you did not set SETENV in the sudoers config file

icingaclient ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/docker

Docker not found

If you get an error message that docker was not found then it is not reachable in ofe of the directories of $PATH. This can happen especialy in rootless docker instances.

Solution: Use the parameter -p /usr/bin to define a target. Copy the docker binary there.
