Installation

First SSH into your Pi and there is one thing we need to do before we get cracking. We need to enable c-groups so the stack will work out of the box. To do this you need to modify the configuration file /boot/cmdline.txt:

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

And add the following options:

cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1

Now save the file in your editor and reboot:

sudo reboot

Then clone this repository on your Pi host, cd into Docker-Raspberry-PI-Monitoring directory and run docker-compose up:

git clone https://github.com/oijkn/Docker-Raspberry-PI-Monitoring.git
cd Docker-Raspberry-PI-Monitoring
docker-compose up -d

Containers:

Prometheus (metrics database) http://:9090
Grafana (visualize metrics) http://:3000
NodeExporter (host metrics collector)
cAdvisor (containers metrics collector)

Setup Grafana

Navigate to http://<host-ip>:3000 and login with user admin password admin. You can change the credentials in the compose file or by supplying the ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variables on compose up.

GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme
GF_USERS_ALLOW_SIGN_UP=false

Grafana is not preconfigured with dashboard, so you have to import it from the json file. And set Prometheus as the default data source.

Grafana > Configuration > Data Sources > Prometheus

Setup Prometheus

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'prometheus'
    scrape_interval: 30s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090', 'cadvisor:8080', 'node-exporter:9100']
