Docker Host Monitoring

Docker monitoring watches daemon responsiveness and container state changes through the internal agent — surfacing crashed containers, daemon hangs and restart storms before users notice missing services.

Containers die quietly — the daemon should not

What it checks

  • Docker daemon responsiveness
  • Container start/stop/crash events
  • Restart-loop detection per container

Set it up

  1. 1Install the agent on the Docker host
  2. 2Enable the Docker check type
  3. 3Route container events into event rules

FAQ

Does it need Docker socket access?

The agent reads daemon state with the same access the host grants it — no extra exposure needed since it runs locally.
