Monitoring cAdvisor with Prometheus

cAdvisor exposes container and hardware statistics as Prometheus metrics out of the box. By default, these metrics are served under the /metrics HTTP endpoint. This endpoint may be customized by setting the -prometheus_endpoint and -disable_metrics or -enable_metrics command-line flags.

To collect some of metrics it is required to build cAdvisor with additional flags, for details see build instructions, additional flags are indicated in "additional build flag" column in table below.

To monitor cAdvisor with Prometheus, simply configure one or more jobs in Prometheus which scrape the relevant cAdvisor processes at that metrics endpoint. For details, see Prometheus's Configuration documentation, as well as the Getting started guide.

Examples
