I am trying to use telegraph to stream docker stats, to do so I am using docker input plugin as specified here - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/docker

I am trying to send my output to a file. I notice that I am getting all docker_container data except docker_container_status as specified in their input plugin page. I am able to see

docker_container_mem
docker_container_cpu
docker_container_net
docker_container_blkio

but not

docker_container_status

I need the status of all containers for my work, any help is greatly appreciated.

Some information about my setup:

Telegraf version : 1.7.3

Also is there any way to monitor systemd services status using telegraph? I currently see that there is a feature requirement that is not yet merged - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/2109

UPDATE - 1: docker container status is available only in version 1.8 which is not released yet.

So any suggestions on how to monitor systemd status using telegraf?

    The plugin for systemd is almost ready, https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/4532/files/3d92218f4aa723742a0e3ef2a6a9e48c9e974e22#diff-65ed954dbdf59dc6a26b68cec53ce730 would you rather prefer an alternate solution until its ready to use? – Sufiyan Ghori Sep 09 '18 at 10:37

    @SufiyanGhori Thanks for the info, if I have to have an alternate solution what would it be? – Magic Sep 09 '18 at 19:58

    you can use `exec` input plugin to fetch output of `systemctl` command – Sufiyan Ghori Sep 10 '18 at 03:54
  • oh cool, let me quickly try that and get back. Thanks – Magic Sep 10 '18 at 19:58
