Monitoring and Management With Docker and Containers

A free ebook from The New Stack on monitoring and managing containerised systems. The wider book gathers perspectives from several practitioners on the operational side of running containers in production, with a focus on the tooling shifts that came with the move to service-oriented architectures.

I contributed a chapter called Identifying And Collecting Container Data, covering how to extract metrics from Docker containers and the hosts they run on, and what to do with those metrics once you have them.
