Hands-On Infrastructure Monitoring with Prometheus

Configuration

When launching cAdvisor as a container, some host paths are required to be available in read-only mode. This will allow, for example, the collection of kernels, processes, and container data.

There are quite a few runtime flags, so we'll feature some of the most relevant for our test case in the following table:

Flag	Description
--docker	Docker endpoint, defaults to unix:///var/run/docker.sock
--docker_only	Only report containers in addition to root stats
--listen_ip	IP to bind on, default to 0.0.0.0
--port	Port to listen on, defaults to 8080
--storage_duration	How long to store data, defaults to 2m0s
