Sensu Client Docker container Metrics #35

Closed cssccarvalho closed 8 years ago

cssccarvalho commented 8 years ago

Hello,

It was my understanding that inside a container we cannot have access to metrics because they are low level information shared from the host Linux kernel. Does anybody knows of a way to gather metrics from inside a docker container with a sensu client and sensu server checks system? For what I've read only through installation on the docker host of a sensu client I can collect the metrics that a need. I need to collect metrics from withing the container and this is not possible.... I think it should be possible to simply installations and use docker container sensu and it's clients.
