This Bash script will loop through all running docker containers on a host and list the disk usage per mount. In case it's breaching the 65%, it will email you.

checkDockerDisks.sh

#!/bin/bash

# get all running docker container names
containers=$(sudo docker ps | awk '{if(NR>1) print $NF}')
host=$(hostname)

# loop through all containers
for container in $containers
do
  echo "Container: $container"
  percentages=($(sudo docker exec $container /bin/sh -c "df -h | grep -vE '^Filesystem|shm|boot' | awk '{ print +\$5 }'"))
  mounts=($(sudo docker exec $container /bin/sh -c "df -h | grep -vE '^Filesystem|shm|boot' | awk '{ print \$6 }'"))

  for index in ${!mounts[*]}; do
    echo "Mount ${mounts[index]}: ${percentages[index]}%"

    if (( ${percentages[index]} > 70 )); then
      message="[ERROR] At $host and Docker container $container the mount ${mounts[index]} is at ${percentages[index]}% of its disk space. Please check this."
      echo $message
      echo $message | mail -s "Docker container $container at $host is out of disk space" "r.sonke@maxxton.com"
    fi
  done
  echo ================================
done

Is there any way to add each container to an AssociativeArray , seems like it is not looping through them ,
but just returning the list of them as only 1 item. i.e

for container in $containers
do
myArray+=([key]=$container)
done
echo "${#myArray[@]}"

Is just printing the first container

Am I doing something wrong in there ?
Thanks!

Should disable this line in the example or at least make the email an example email

echo $message | mail -s "Docker container $container at $host is out of disk space" "r.sonke@maxxton.com"

Oh haha yes, pretty old script. People even copy pasted it without even modifying and sharing me their monitoring emails....
