Vero Monitor Service

This probe is on the development roadmap.

Description

The container_mon probe monitors Docker and Docker Swarm containers via the Docker Engine API (HTTP over unix socket). Tracks running state, restart count, and optional CPU/memory stats. Build tag vms_heavy.

Config fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`type`	`string`	Yes	—	Must be `"container_mon"`
`runtime`	`string`	Yes	—	`"docker"` or `"docker_swarm"`
`runtimeEndpoint`	`string`	No	`/var/run/docker.sock`	Docker socket path
`containerNamePattern`	`string`	No	—	Regex to match container names. Empty = all
`serviceName`	`string`	No	—	Docker Swarm service name
`collectStats`	`bool`	No	`false`	Collect CPU% and memory for running containers

Metrics

Metric	Type	Unit	Labels	Description
`vms.container_mon.status`	status	—	`container`	Per-container state
`vms.container_mon.restart_count`	counter	—	`container`	Restart count
`vms.container_mon.cpu_percent`	gauge	percent	`container`	CPU usage
`vms.container_mon.memory_bytes`	gauge	bytes	`container`	Memory usage
`vms.container_mon.memory_percent`	gauge	percent	`container`	Memory usage %

Example config

{
  "type": "container_mon",
  "runtime": "docker",
  "containerNamePattern": "core-.*",
  "collectStats": true
}

Notes

Max 50 containers matched per run.
Docker socket unreachable → status unknown, emits vms.agent.permission_missing{capability=docker.sock}.
Build tag vms_heavy — not in default agent package.
