docker-configure-source-template

In this step, you will configure the YAML required for Docker Collection. Below are the inputs required for configuration:

  • Name. Name of the source template.
  • Description. Description for the source template.
  • Docker Event log location. Enter the path of the JSON file generated through the command in the prerequisite section.
  • Endpoint. Address to reach the desired Docker daemon (default: unix:///var/run/docker.sock).
  • Excluded Image List. A list of strings, regexes, or globs whose referent container image names will not be among the queried containers for scrapping metrics. Learn more about excluded_images.
  • Fields/Metadata. You can provide any customer fields to be tagged with the data collected. By default, Sumo Logic tags _sourceCategory with the value otel/docker.
