How to configure high-availability container monitoring on Linux

Overview:
With the development of container technology, more and more enterprises are deploying applications into containers. The monitoring of these containers has become an important requirement. This article will introduce how to configure highly available container monitoring on Linux. We will use Prometheus as the monitoring system, Grafana as the visualization tool, and Docker Swarm to achieve high availability of containers.

Step 1: Install Docker Swarm
Docker Swarm is a container orchestration tool officially provided by Docker to achieve high availability of containers. First, you need to install Docker Swarm on your Linux server. Please follow the instructions in Docker Swarm official documentation to install it.

Step 2: Install Prometheus and Grafana
Prometheus is an open source monitoring solution that provides powerful monitoring functions and flexible query language. Grafana is a popular visualization tool that can be used to display and analyze monitoring data.

First, you need to install Prometheus and Grafana on your Linux server. You can use the following command to install:

docker service create --name prometheus 
--publish 9090:9090 
--mount type=bind,source=/path/to/prometheus.yml,target=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml 
prom/prometheus

docker service create --name grafana 
--publish 3000:3000 
--env "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=yourpassword" 
grafana/grafana

The above code will create two containers on port 9090 and port 3000 respectively, one is the Prometheus container and the other is the Grafana container. Please replace /path/to/prometheus.yml with the path to your own configuration file, and replace yourpassword with your own password.

Step 3: Configure Prometheus monitoring service
Next, we need to configure Prometheus to monitor our containers. Create a file named prometheus.yml on your Linux server and configure it according to the following example:

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 15s

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'prometheus'
  metrics_path: '/metrics'
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:9090']

- job_name: 'node_exporter'
  metrics_path: '/metrics'
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:9100', 'node1:9100', 'node2:9100']

- job_name: 'docker'
  metrics_path: '/metrics'
  static_configs:
  - targets: ['localhost:9323']

The above configuration file defines three monitoring tasks, one for Prometheus Monitoring of itself, monitoring of host nodes and monitoring of Docker containers. Please replace node1 and node2 with your own node addresses.

Then, start the Prometheus container on your Linux server:

docker service create --name prometheus 
--publish 9090:9090 
--mount type=bind,source=/path/to/prometheus.yml,target=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml 
prom/prometheus

Step 4: Configure Grafana
Now, we need to configure Grafana to visualize our monitoring data. First, open your browser and visit http://yourserverip:3000 and log into Grafana using the password you set in the previous installation step.

Then, go to Grafana’s data source interface and add a new data source. Select Prometheus as the data source type and configure the access address of Prometheus (for example: http://yourserverip:9090).

Next, you can create a new dashboard and add custom panels to display the monitoring metrics you are interested in.

Conclusion:
Through the above steps, we successfully configured high-availability container monitoring on Linux. Using Prometheus and Grafana, we can flexibly collect, store and visualize container monitoring data. This will help us promptly discover and solve problems in container operation and improve application reliability and performance.

I hope this article will help you configure high-availability container monitoring!
