Docker container availability monitoring

gautier_begin — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 17:03:37 GMT

Hello,

I have a OneAgent installed on a RHEL machine where a docker server is running.

From there, I can see the running containers, like described here: Monitor container groups — Dynatrace Docs

In the container related metrics, I can't find the availability.

How to be alerted when a container is down ? Is there a specific metric selector ? Perhaps trapping the fact that no performance metrics are capture anymore.

Regards

Gautier

Hi,

You can use any metric for the container in the metric event and select "Alert on missing data" option. https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/anomaly-detection-configuration#missing-data

Best Regards
