A Docker Compose stack to monitor a local development machine, using Prometheus, Netdata and Grafana.
Start the stack with docker-compose:
docker-compose up -d
To access the resources through the NGINX proxy, add the following to your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 monitoring.local
127.0.0.1 grafana.local
127.0.0.1 netdata.local
127.0.0.1 prometheus.local
And access through a web browser regularly, e.g. http://monitoring.local.
Alternatively, if you don't want to edit your host files, you can access through the dynamically allocated port for a service, e.g.:
$~ docker-compose port prometheus 9090
0.0.0.0:49153
Then access through the browser, e.g. http://0.0.0.0:49153
When starting the stack, if you encounter the following error message:
ERROR: for local-monit-stack_proxy_1 Cannot start service proxy: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint local-monit-stack_proxy_1 (aabb11): Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated
It means you already have a service running on port 80. It could be another container, or a webserver installed in your machine (eg. Apache or NGINX). In this case you can remove the 80:80 port binding in the docker-compose.yaml file and access the stack through the dynamically allocated ports, as explained above.
