Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater
irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 month agoI have a follow up question about cadvisor, if you have a minute. Cadvisor employ Redis and Prometheus. If I understand correctly, you configure Prometheus to scrape Docker logs. All fine and good. However, my Grafana stack already employs Prometheus to do the same, just for syslogs and such, but not Docker. Can I not place the contents of the Cadvisor/Prometheus config in the existing Prometheus implementation used with Grafana, or does Cadvisor need it’s own Prometheus instance.

You should be able to just add a scrape config to your existing deployment of prometheus

Thank you for the reply. I guess I am thinking, why have multiple Prometheus instances running, eating up resources, when I could do it with just one.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you right away. But this is correct. I just have Prometheus scrape cAdvisor.

You’re fine. Thanks for the follow up.

For sure. Simplifies querying the data too, since you won’t need to deal with multiple data sources in grafana.
