docker_daemon.yaml

init_config:
  # Change the root directory to look at to get cgroup statistics. Useful when running inside a
  # container with host directories mounted on a different folder. Default: /.
  # Example for the docker-dd-agent container:
  docker_root: /host

  # Timeout in seconds for the connection to the docker daemon
  # Default: 5 seconds
  #
  # timeout: 10

  # The version of the API the client will use. Specify 'auto' to use the API version provided by the server.
  # api_version: auto

  # Use TLS encryption while communicating with the Docker API
  #
  # tls: False
  # tls_client_cert: /path/to/client-cert.pem
  # tls_client_key: /path/to/client-key.pem
  # tls_cacert: /path/to/ca.pem
  # tls_verify: True

instances:
  - ## Daemon and system configuration
    ##

    # URL of the Docker daemon socket to reach the Docker API. HTTP/HTTPS also works.
    # Warning: if that's a non-local daemon, we won't be able to collect performance metrics.
    #
    url: "unix://var/run/docker.sock"

    ## Data collection
    ##

    # Create events whenever a container status change.
    # Defaults to true.
    #
    # collect_events: false

    # Collect disk usage per container with docker.container.size_rw and
    # docker.container.size_rootfs metrics.
    # Warning: This might take time for Docker daemon to generate,
    # ensure that `docker ps -a -q` run fast before enabling it.
    # Defaults to false.
    #
    # collect_container_size: false

    # Collect images stats
    # Number of available active images and intermediate images as gauges.
    # Defaults to false.
    #
    # collect_images_stats: true

    # Collect disk usage per image with docker.image.size and docker.image.virtual_size metrics.
    # The check gets this size with the `docker images` command.
    # Requires collect_images_stats to be enabled.
    # Defaults to false.
    #
    # collect_image_size: true

    # Exclude containers based on their tags
    # An excluded container will be completely ignored. The rule is a regex on the tags.
    #
    # How it works: exclude first.
    # If a tag matches an exclude rule, it won't be included unless it also matches an include rule.
    # Examples:
    # exclude all, except ubuntu and debian.
    # exclude: [".*"]
    # include: ["docker_image:ubuntu", "docker_image:debian"]
    #
    # include all, except ubuntu and debian.
    # exclude: ["docker_image:ubuntu", "docker_image:debian"]
    # include: []
    #
    # Default: include all containers
    exclude: ["docker_image:gcr.io/google_containers/pause"]
    include: []

    ## Tagging
    ##

    # You can add extra tags to your Docker metrics with the tags list option.
    # Example: ["extra_tag", "env:testing"]
    #
    # tags: []

    # If the agent is running in an Amazon ECS task, tags container metrics with the ECS task name and version.
    # Default: true
    #
    # ecs_tags: false

    # Custom metrics tagging
    # Define which Docker tags to apply on metrics.
    # Since it impacts the aggregation, modify it carefully (only if you really need it).
    #
    # Tags for performance metrics.
    # Available:
    #   - image_name: Name of the image (example: "nginx")
    #   - image_tag: Tag of the image (example: "latest")
    #   - docker_image: LEGACY. The full image name:tag string (example: "nginx:latest")
    #   - container_name: Name of the container (example: "boring_euclid")
    #   - container_command: Command ran by the container (example: "echo 1")
    #
    # performance_tags: ["container_name", image_name", "image_tag", "docker_image"]

    # Tags for containers count metrics.
    # Available: ["image_name", "image_tag", "docker_image", "container_command"]
    #
    # container_tags: ["image_name", "image_tag", "docker_image"]

    # List of container label names that should be collected and sent as tags.
    # Default to None
    # Example:
    # collect_labels_as_tags: ["com.docker.compose.service", "com.docker.compose.project"]
