Docker Agent

The Docker based agent collects and streams metrics, traces and logs to Middleware for further analysis. The agent runs as a sidecar and is simple to deploy as a daemonset or with docker compose.

This guide is a quick start for Docker. See the Docker documentation for more configuration options.

Installing the Agent

The required MW_API_KEY and MW_TARGET will be pre-filled if you've logged into our docs, and are accessible in the Platform's Installation Pages.

Bash

Docker Compose

MW_API_KEY="<MW_API_KEY>" MW_TARGET=https://<MW_UID>.middleware.io:443 bash -c "$(curl -L https://install.middleware.io/scripts/docker-install.sh)"

version: "3.8"
services:
  mw-host-agent:
    image: ghcr.io/middleware-labs/mw-host-agent:master
    environment:
      - MW_API_KEY=<MW_API_KEY>
      - MW_TARGET=https://<MW_UID>.middleware.io:443
    ports:
      - 9319:9319
      - 9320:9320
      - 8006:8006
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /var/log:/var/log
      - /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers
      - /tmp:/tmp
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host

Verify Installation

Run the following command to verify the Infra Agent status:

docker ps -a --filter ancestor=ghcr.io/middleware-labs/mw-host-agent:master

If status is UP or Exited, the installation was successful. If status is blank, installation was unsuccessful.

Infrastructure Dashboard

Middleware takes a few minutes to index new data sets. Once all attributes have been indexed all data will be accessible in the platform on the Infrastructure page, in the Dashboard Builder, and when building Alerts.
