Part 1: Use Grafana w/Prometheus for Alert & Monitoring

Goal:

Context:

Lets show how you can help a team migrate their infrastructure to Docker containers..

Part 1 Activities:

See how to utilize Prometheus to monitor your toys (containers). Then you can use the gangster tool of Grafana to visualize & alert!

Lessons Learned:

• Pre-Req
  • SSH & Eleevate to Sudo su – !!
• Configure Docker
  • Open Port
  • Create daemon.json file
  • Restart docker
  • Curl to test Docker
• Update the Prometheus YAML File
• Update the Docker-Compose YAML File
  • docker-compose.yml
  • Apply changes & rebuild
  • Ensure stuff is runnin’!
  • Open port 9090
• Install the Docker & Monitoring DB
  • Create Grafana Data Source
  • Add Docker Dashboard
  • Add email notification
  • Alert for CPU Usage

Pre-Req:

SSH & Elevate to Sudo su – !!:

Configure Docker:

Open Port (for FW in Docker reporting under Prometheus):

Create daemon.json file:

Restart Docker:

Curl to test Docker:

Update the Prometheus YAML File:

• Add gateway & Grafana to have visualization/reporting for Docker metrics

Update the Docker-Compose YAML File:

docker-compose.yml:

Apply changes & rebuild (docker-compose up -d):

Ensure stuff is runnin (docker ps) & Open port 9090:

Install the Docker & Monitoring DB:

Create Grafana Data Source:

Add Docker Dashboard:

Add email notification:

Alert for CPU Usage:
