Docker Health Monitoring

Monitor and optimize Docker cluster health in real-time with Datadog.

Docker health monitoring with Datadog helps you visualize, analyze, and troubleshoot entire cluster architecture.

 

Monitor Your Docker Containers More Effectively

  • Automatically detect and monitor your containers as quickly as they are created and destroyed
  • Easily analyze the health of all your containers distributed across any cloud environment in a single pane of glass with the cluster agent
  • Avoid resource contention and deficiency by drilling into individual containers running hot with 1 click
  • Collect, monitor, and visualize high-granularity metrics from all your containers at 15s. granularity for 15 months – including CPU, I/O, and memory

Gain Deeper Insights Into Your Container Orchestration

  • Enhance visibility into container orchestration with the live container view
  • Optimize horizontal auto-scaling by connecting Datadog to your HPA and collecting request rate, latency, and available network bandwidth
  • Easily detect clusters over or under-allocating available resources via the auto-generated container map
  • Monitor important per-container metrics, such as resource usage and request and response error rates, on out-of-the-box dashboards for AWS Fargate, Google Cloud Run, and more

Eliminate False-Positives and Receive Alerts for Only the Issues that Matter

  • Set up threshold and rate of change alerts for service-level metrics that won’t panic as containers scale down
  • Create smarter alerts that account for daily, weekly, and seasonal fluctuations
  • Proactively prevent outages and errors with forecasts on resource metrics such as CPU and memory
  • Automatically detect unanticipated anomalous events, outliers, and errors with Watchdog
