title: Docker: Container Status
agents: linux
catalog: containerization/docker
license: GPLv2
distribution: check_mk
description:
 Monitors the status of docker containers. A status of "running" is treated as OK,
 any other status is treated as CRIT.

 To make this check work the agent plug-in {{mk_docker.py}} has to be installed.
 If you are using agent bakery rules, you must enable "Piggybacked docker containers".
 If you are configuring the plug-in via the configuration file, make sure you do not skip the
 section "docker_containers_client" (the default setting is fine).

discovery:
 One service is created for each container that is running
 or has the restart policy set to 'always'.
