A solution for Monitoring and Logging Containers

domolo

A monitoring and logging solution for Docker hosts and containers with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, cAdvisor, NodeExporter and alerting with AlertManager.

Inspired by dockprom

Install

Clone this repository on your Docker host, cd into domolo directory and run docker-compose up -d:

git clone https://github.com/ductnn/domolo.git
cd domolo
docker-compose up -d

Containers:

Prometheus (metrics database): http://<host-ip>:9090
Prometheus-Pushgateway (push acceptor for ephemeral and batch jobs): http://<host-ip>:9091
AlertManager (alerts management): http://<host-ip>:9093
Grafana (visualize metrics): http://<host-ip>:3000
Loki (likes prometheus, but for logs): http://<host-ip>:3100
Promtail (is the agent, responsible for gathering logs and sending them to Loki)
NodeExporter (host metrics collector)
cAdvisor (containers metrics collector)
Caddy (reverse proxy and basic auth provider for prometheus and alertmanager)

Grafana

Change the credentials in file config:

GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme
GF_USERS_ALLOW_SIGN_UP=false

Grafana is preconfigured with dashboards, setup Prometheus(default) and Loki in datasources

apiVersion: 1

datasources:
  - name: Prometheus
    type: prometheus
    access: proxy
    orgId: 1
    url: http://prometheus:9090
    basicAuth: false
    isDefault: true
    editable: true

  - name: Loki
    type: loki
    access: proxy
    jsonData:
      maxLines: 1000
    basicAuth: false
    url: http://loki:3100
    isDefault: false
    editable: true

Prometheus + Node Exporter

Config prometheus for receiving metrics from node_exporter. First, setup node_exporter in servers we need monitor with docker-compose.agents.yml and run command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.agents.yml up -d

This file will setup 3 agents:

node_exporter
cAdvisor
promtail

Then, we need config scrape metric on prometheus server:

Live monitoring prometheus server:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'nodeexporter'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['nodeexporter:9100']

Monitoring other Server, we need to add external_labels:

external_labels:
  monitor: 'docker-host-alpha'

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'ApiExporter'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['<IP Server need Monitor>:Port']

Grafana Dashboards

Simple dashboards on Grafana:

Node Exporter

Monitor Services

Docker Host

Loki

Setup config loki in file loki-config

TODO: Setup s3

Config scrape logs with promtail, create file promtail-config.yaml and setup:

Scrape logs container:

- job_name: container_logs
  docker_sd_configs:
    - host: unix:///var/run/docker.sock
      refresh_interval: 5s
  relabel_configs:
    - source_labels: ['__meta_docker_container_name']
      regex: '/(.*)'
      target_label: 'container'

Scrape logs systems:

- job_name: system
  static_configs:
  - targets:
      - localhost
    labels:
      job: varlogs
      __path__: /var/log/*log

Demo

Create simple tool generate logs and containerization this tool. Navigate to file entrypoint.sh and run test:

➜  domolo git:(master) cd fake-logs
➜  fake-logs git:(master) ✗ chmod +x entrypoint.sh
➜  fake-logs git:(master) ✗ ./entrypoint.sh

Then, add fake-logs in docker-compose.yml

# Fake Logs
flogs:
  image: ductn4/flog:v1 # Set your name image :)
  build:
    context: ./fake-logs
    dockerfile: Dockerfile
  container_name: fake-logs
  restart: always
  networks:
    - monitor-net
  labels:
    org.label-schema.group: "monitoring"
