DKRMGR is a go daemon to export docker containers metrics for Prometheus. DKRMGR also includes healing mode — if a container has a healthcheck defined and container health is unhealthy, DKRMGR schedules restart for the container. If the container stays unhealthy after the restart, DKRMGR schedules another restart with a longer delay before the next restart.

DKRMGR is an attempt to combine docker-exporter and docktor in one small tool, and make sure it's simple and robust.

DKRMGR is configured with environment variables:

• DKRMGR_DOCKER_SOCKET
  Path to the docker socket. Default is /var/run/docker.sock

• DKRMGR_SCRAPE_INTERVAL
  Interval between calls to docker API to get containers state changes. Default is 10s

• DKRMGR_INSPECT_TIMEOUT
  Timeout for the container inspect API call. Default is 5s

• DKRMGR_CLEANUP_INTERVAL
  Interval between runs of garbage collector to remove healed/vanished patients from the list. Default is 10s

• DKRMGR_RESTART_BACKOFF_MIN
  Minimum delay before restarting a container. Default is 5s

• DKRMGR_RESTART_BACKOFF_MAX
  Maximum delay before restarting a container. Default is 5m. Each consecutive restart (assuming the container stays unhealthy) will be scheduled with a delay of (lastDelay*2), so, with default values this will be 5s, 10s, 20s et caetera. However, when delay reaches maximum (i.e. 5m), it will stay there.

• DKRMGR_HEAL_MODE
  Turns on healing mode. Default is false.

• DKRMGR_PORT
  Port on which to start http server to serve metrics. Default is 9102. Metrics will be available at http://localhost:9102/metrics.

• DKRMGR_DEBUG_MODE
  Turns on debug level logging. Default is false.
