The release of Mackerel container agent (public beta)
Mackerel container agent has been released. Use it to monitor containers on container orchestration platforms. Currently, the following platforms are supported.
- Amazon ECS
- AWS Fargate
- Kubernetes
Executable as a task/Pod sidecar, you can post CPU, memory, and network interface metrics as system metrics for each container. You can also configure the monitoring rate based on the obtained metric in the Monitor Settings screen.
For details regarding specifications or the setup process for Mackerel container agent, check out the Help page linked below.
Mackerel container agent is still in the development process in preparation for its official release. So please give it a try and let us know what you think. Incompatible changes will not be made without an announcement, however, depending on demand, changes may be made with advance notice.
For Amazon ECS / AWS Fargate, 1 task will count as one host. For Kubernetes, 1 Pod will count as 1 host. The number of hosts will be calculated using a moving average of the previous month. For more details, please refer to FAQ · Calculating the number of hosts.
※The billing system for registered hosts with container agent will change in the future.
