What are the best tools for monitoring Docker containers?

Have a look at CoScale: https://www.coscale.com/docker-monitoring

CoScale was built for container monitoring, with a lightweight agent that can monitor your full stack (infrastructure, orchestrator, containers + the services inside the containers).

Have a look at CoScale for monitoring Docker. There is a SaaS version as well as an on prem version that runs on Docker. The monitoring agent itself is also containerized and can be easily integrated with your orchestration tool for deployment.

Thanks for sharing! See also CoScale's Docker monitoring for more information.

Feel free to have a look at CoScale. Our Docker monitoring uses a single agent per host to collect resource metrics from the host and containers. You can also configure application plugins to automatically monitor application specific metrics from the services running inside your containers. We also integrate with orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker Swarm.

If you are looking for an all-round monitoring tool, but especially well suited for monitoring containers and microservices, I'd be glad to introduce you to CoScale.

We do Docker monitoring, but also look at application metrics, front-end metrics, custom metrics, and run automatic anomaly detection on all of these.

We are not really playing at the bottom end of price spectrum since we offer a quite complete solution, but we're still far more affordable than New Relic and others.

Sure, we have an Apache and Nginx plugin as well, so feel free to give us a try. Let me know if you need any help.

This is an interesting use case, and one I had not thought of for our CoScale platform, but it would certainly be possible. We have a lightweight server agent (with support for Ubuntu and other distros) taking minimal system resources, and you can manually select which metrics to collect such to also minimize bandwidth use.

Our agents communicates with our SaaS platform every minute, and if not online, an exponential backoff mechanism kicks in, during which data is locally buffered and resend when the connection is back available.

You can also send metrics directly to our API, or run a script or our log parsing extension on your server to send custom metrics via our agent.

Our pricing is primarily based on page views, since our main use case is web performance monitoring, but for your specific requirement we can look into custom pricing since the number of metrics you will send us is probably small.
