Docker Exporter (logporter)

logporter

A lightweight alternative to cAdvisor for exporting metrics from Docker containers and log collector for sending to Loki.

Quick start

Clone the repository and run the monitoring full-stack with one command:

git clone https://github.com/Lifailon/logporter
cd logporter
docker-compose up -d

The stack includes Prometheus with an exporter connected and alerts configured, a Loki server targeted by a log collector, and Grafana with pre-configured data sources and added dashboards.

Go to Grafana UI: http://localhost:3000 and enter admin:admin.

Manual setup

• Run the exporter in a container using the image published on Docker Hub:

docker run -d --name logporter \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -p 9333:9333 \
  --restart=always \
  lifailon/logporter:latest

• Connect the new target to the Prometheus configuration file:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: logporter
    scrape_interval: 15s
    scrape_timeout: 2s
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - localhost:9333

• Import the prepared public Grafana dashboard using the id 23848 or from json file.
