Docker monitoring simplified with Applications Manager

Easy-to-deploy and agentless: Here's how to simplify Docker monitoring

Just enable the Docker Remote API and start monitoring Docker hosts and containers in Applications Manager. No need to install and maintain agents that can be intrusive and resource hogging. Auto discover containers and their dependencies and start monitoring performance easily. Since Docker allows applications to become encapsulated in self-contained environments, visibility into those applications is often veiled.

Key features of Applications Manager for Docker monitoring

Obtain visibility into Docker environment on a deeper level

Gaining visibility into Docker on a deeper level presents unique challenges due to the dynamic and ephemeral nature of containerized environments. Traditional Docker monitoring approaches often struggle to keep pace with the rapid creation, termination, and movement of containers, making it difficult to track their status and performance accurately. Furthermore, monitoring Docker hosts, processes, and individual containers involves complexities such as understanding resource utilization, network activity, and application behavior within these isolated environments.

Applications Manager is a comprehensive Docker container monitoring tool that goes a step further to provide details about all containers present in the Docker host. Monitoring Docker containers and all of their related metrics will help reduce the occurrence of bottlenecks, thereby optimizing performance. Ensure smooth Docker deployments regardless of their location (AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premises) or the orchestrator platform being used (Docker Swarm, Mesos, or Kubernetes).

Collect and analyze Docker monitoring metrics with ease

With Applications Manager’s real-time performance insights, you can track the critical Docker performance metrics like resource usage, load distribution, container health, availability, response time, network traffic and many more. The tool’s detailed and accessible dashboards help you identify performance anomalies among attributes in real time. The docker monitoring capabilities of the tool let you observe the applications deployed in the containers in real time. It lets you access the performance of critical Docker KPIs in real time and analyze periodic data to understand performance as you go.

Keep a keen eye on Docker's traffic and memory stats

Gain complete visibility into your Docker environment with our monitoring solution, tracking essential metrics for optimal performance. We provide detailed insights into:

Monitor the performance of applications running on Docker

Our Docker monitoring tool empowers you to move beyond basic resource tracking, providing deep, code-level insights and advanced diagnostic capabilities to monitor the applications built on Docker. This enables proactive optimization and rapid issue resolution, ensuring peak application performance.

• Full-stack Docker application visibility:Gain complete monitoring and optimization of applications running within Docker.
• Code-level insights: Pinpoint error-causing lines of code for precise troubleshooting.
• Distributed tracing: Track application calls across platforms and languages.
• Thread profiling: Analyze and optimize thread efficiency for maximum performance.
• Error and exception capture: Identify and address application errors and exceptions.
• Automated service maps: Visualize application dependencies and identify performance bottlenecks.

Quickly resolve Docker performance issues

Perceptive Docker monitoring tools such as Applications Manager can generate notifications based on applied alerting rules for key metric data, as well as escalate issues through email or SMS. Designate thresholds for various container parameters, and configure alerts to trigger in the event of a threshold violation. This proactive approach ensures timely awareness of potential issues, allowing for swift resolution and uninterrupted operation of your dockerized applications.

Using Applications Manager's fault management system, you can:

• Drill down with root cause analysis to fix the source of the problem and prevent future mishaps.
• Set up automated actions—such as starting, stopping, and restarting a container—to cut down the time and effort spent on recurring issues.
• Establish dynamic baselines to detect anomalies and identify performance degradations in time to prevent major business catastrophes.

Get insights into Docker resource usage and trends with Docker monitoring dashboard

In addition to comprehensive Docker performance monitoring, Applications Manager provides extensive reports on various performance parameters. With trend analysis reports, get historical data, heat charts, and statistical reports for various attributes—with which you can efficiently analyze performance trends. Unlike most Docker monitoring tools, Applications Manager uses machine learning techniques to predict Docker container growth and utilization trends. This means you'll be notified when trends reach levels that are cause for concern so you can proactively allocate resources.
