This doesn't seem to enable the docker container monitoring #5

It says the default is newrelic_disable_docker: no ...but I don't think this actually does the step to enable Docker monitoring in the first place: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/servers/new-relic-servers-linux/installation-configuration/enabling-new-relic-servers-docker

I'm not getting any Docker monitoring after using this role

Hi, actually haven't used newrelic's docker monitoring myself yet... you probably need to do more than just using this role as it only installs the daemon.

This role has a template for nrsysmond.cfg and I added some variables to be configured as a starting point (can definitely be extended, help welcome) which includes the option:

#
# Option : disable_docker
# Type   : boolean
# Value  : Set to true to disable Docker container statistics gathering.
# Default: false
#
disable_docker={{ newrelic_disable_docker | to_nice_json }}

so till now that's only what it does in account to docker monitoring.

If you figure out what needs to be done we can add it to this role or make a ansible-newrelic-docker...
