Description

Similar to #148 but for Docker containers.

I imagine two modes:

  • Manual: Provide list of containers on a server to check the existence and health of. Fixed list of containers means alerts will fire either with failed healthchecks, or if they are not found—e.g. docker compose down.
  • Auto: Check all containers on a server or servers, and match against whitelist/blacklist. Matched containers have their health checked. Allows any new containers that match the filter to be populated in the monitor automatically, while also removing old containers that no longer match/exist.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #148 and comparing its monitor design with the two proposed Docker modes here. Define how fixed container lists, health-check failures, missing containers, and whitelist/blacklist matching should behave; the work is done when both manual and automatic monitoring requirements are implemented and verified.
