Dockerfile for building and running a netdata deamon for your host instance.

Netdata monitors your server with thoughts of performance and memory usage, providing detailed insight into very recent server metrics. It's nice, and now it's also dockerized.

More info about project: https://github.com/firehol/netdata

docker run -d --cap-add SYS_PTRACE --name netdata -v /proc:/host/proc:ro -v /sys:/host/sys:ro -p 19999:19999 titpetric/netdata

Open a browser on http://server:19999/ and watch how your server is doing.

Docker needs to run with the SYS_PTRACE capability. Without it, the mapped host/proc filesystem is not fully readable to the netdata deamon, more specifically the "apps" plugin:

16-01-12 07:58:16: ERROR: apps.plugin: Cannot process /host/proc/1/io (errno 13, Permission denied)
