How can I monitor metrics in Docker Compose?

You can monitor metrics in Docker Compose by integrating tools like Prometheus and Grafana. Would you like to know how to set them up?

Yes, please explain how to set up Prometheus with Docker Compose.

To set up Prometheus, you need to create a docker-compose.yml file that includes a Prometheus service and configure it to scrape metrics from your applications.

What should I include in the Prometheus configuration?

In the Prometheus configuration, you should define the scrape targets, which are the services you want to monitor, and specify the metrics endpoint.

Can you provide an example of a docker-compose.yml file for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

version: '3'
services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
    ports:
      - '9090:9090'
