Monitor containers on DC/OS with Microsoft's Operations Management Suite Container Solution
Monitoring Docker containers can be challenging because containers can be created or destroyed at any time. The more containers you have, the more challenging monitoring becomes. Microsoft's
Operations Management Suite (OMS) Container Solution helps users view their container inventory, performance, and logs, and to troubleshoot their containers. OMS Container Solution has been so well-received that Microsoft is making its monitoring capabilities available for DC/OS clusters (regardless of the provider), as part of the Mesosphere Universe.
OMS Container Solution allows users to monitor all their Docker containers through a web interface, providing them with container performance metrics, log analysis, container image inventories, and events.
OMS Container Solution is easy to install on DC/OS. Just choose the "msoms" package from the DC/OS web interface.
When you install msoms, a containerized instance of OMS Agent for Linux gets installed on every private and public agent. This OMS instance scales with your DC/OS environment and sends monitoring data to the OMS Container Solutions web interface.
