But.. when I run metrics-docker-container.rb I get following error message.

# metrics-docker-container.rb
time="2015-09-14T17:07:54Z" level=fatal msg="Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is 'docker -d' running on this host?"

I tried "-H localhost" but that didn't fix it. What am I missing?

Maybe sensu-client user cannot execute docker stats? sudo -u sensu /usr/bin/docker ps

Is this still any issue for you?

eheydrick commented 8 years ago

By default this plugin connects to port 2376, the TLS port. If your docker daemon is listening on port 2375 you'll need to adjust your check i.e. metrics-docker-container.rb -H tcp://127.0.1.1:2375. You can also use the unix socket metrics-docker-container.rb -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock. We should probably change the default port to 2375 as that's what all the other plugins use.

Just in case anyone else comes across this, adding sensu to the 'docker' group and using the unix socket works for me.
