Monitor Docker Containers with Prometheus

See also SoundCloud's post about releasing Prometheus today: https://developers.soundcloud.com/blog/prometheus-monitoring...

similar stuff - https://github.com/mustafaakin/docker-resource-reporter

also https://github.com/google/cadvisor

which now supports native export to influxdb

Apparently influxdb would take 11x the storage of prometheus's approach: http://prometheus.github.io/docs/introduction/comparison/#pr...

Yeah, InfluxDB is great, but suits slightly different use cases than Prometheus. That is, monitoring numeric time series vs. event logging, basically. Still, I could well imagine running both in a single organization for these different needs.
