Prometheus and Grafana docker-compose stack

This is a quick way to get Prometheus, Grafana, Node-exporter and cAdvisor running. You need docker and docker-compose installed to deploy the stack

Running the stack

docker-compose up -d

Stopping the stack

docker-compose down

Grafana Datasources and Dashboards

Grafana default username and password admin/admin

If you would like to automate the installation of additional dashboards just copy the Dashboard JSON file to grafana/provisioning/dashboards and it will be provisioned next time you stop and start Grafana or the docker-compose stack.

Prometheus

If you need to make an update to Prometheus the config is located at promethes/prometheus.ym. The changes will be availabe the next time you stop and start Prometheus or the docker-compose stack. You can make Prometheus data persistant by mouting a local directory to the docker container, this will allow you to compose up/down the stack without losing data. Add - /$somefolder:/prometheus to the docker-compose.yml file.

Example:

    volumes:
      - ./prometheus:/etc/prometheus/
      - /tmp/prometheus:/prometheus
