Usage

fig up -d

This will start three components:

              Name                            Command               State           Ports          
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
prometheusmonitoring_dashboard_1   ./run ./bin/thin start           Up      0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp 
prometheusmonitoring_db_1          /entrypoint.sh mysqld            Up      3306/tcp               
prometheusmonitoring_metrics_1     ./container-exporter             Up      8080/tcp               
prometheusmonitoring_monitor_1     /go/src/github.com/prometh ...   Up      0.0.0.0:9090->9090/tcp 

1. A metrics server at that uses docker-infra/container_exporter to expose your docker metrics.

2. The Prometheus Monitor at http://localhost:9090

3. And a Prometheus Dashboard at http://localhost:3000 that allows you to place different metrics into customized dashboards.

Troubleshooting

Dashboard
