Telegraf 1.28.5 is running locally in an Alpine system 3.19 running docker. All metrics from the host system itself including cpu, mem and running container are tracked. All metrics of the container itself (e.g. docker\_container\_cpu, docker\_container\_mem) are not tracked any more. A long time ago I saw them… I played with the settings but the result is always 0 for docker\_container\_cpu and docker\_container\_mem of any container. Can someone help? telegraf.conf [[inputs.docker]] endpoint = “unix:///var/run/docker.sock” timeout = “5s” perdevice = false perdevice\_include = [“cpu”, “network”] total\_include = [“cpu”, “network”] ---

I knew that the question would appear, but I do not really know. I set up the dashboard for docker and I saw the values. I had two docker systems, perhaps the values came from the other deactivated one… I also changed to docker compose. And yes, I am sure, that container are running and using memory.

Take a look at the [docker stats docs](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/runmetrics/#memory-metrics-memorystat), which reference that the metrics are pulled from the memory cgroup. It calls out that some distros may not enable this group. We’ve seen a similar report where no memory data comes back on Raspberry PIs, which is why I asked what you were running on: [Telegraf docker input reports 0 bytes memory usage on Raspberry Pi OS · Issue #8079 · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/8079) ---

Thanks for the hint. I found a website from alpine talking about docker and cgroups. After I changed the settings I will drop a note. [https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker) ---

I am struggling with the cgroup configuration in Alpine/OpenRC. Up to now I am sure that this is the issue which does not provide the necessary values as they are also 0 in `docker stats`. Currently cgroups V2 is activated and `docker info` shows that it is using cgroups V2. But it do not know how to delegate cpu, mem and io which should be necessary for the values. I open a ticket at Alpine. ---

Based on that [wikipage you found](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker#%22WARNING:_No_%7Bswap,memory%7D_limit_support%22) it looks like the best way would be to edit the `/etc/default/grub` and modify the linux command line with: ```auto GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1" ``` Where the `...` is the existing items on that line. Essentially adding `cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1` to the line. You may also need to run `update-grub` and then reboot for the changes to take effect. Alternatively, use the extlinux option on that same wiki page, run `update-extlinux`, and reboot. ---

I’ve not run Alpine on baremetal before, but it looks like there are quite a few different [bootloaders](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Bootloaders) that you could have choosen from. Based on that list, you might need to look in `/efi`, does that exist? ---

I checked all of them without success. - rEFInd not included in Alpine 3.19 - Syslinux no directory `/boot` - EFI - no directory `/boot` and `/mnt/EFI` - `efibootmgr` not found - GRUB - no directory `/etc/default/grub` - `grub-install` not found So far I am not able to add the cmdline parameter… ---

Proxmox itself recommends to create a VM instead of a LXC as docker is a container system like LXC. So I will install docker in a VM and telegraf should show the expected results. ---

The stats including CPU and MEM are now visible in the VM.
