That’s exactly what was never working - monitoring the CPU via SNMP inside the container returned wrong values. If that got fixed now then we might see it when it’s available in Debian.
Correct, getting that via SNMP on the host will never work, as ling these information is not available to the SNMP agent. Simos mentioned above to install netdata on the host and it would be ‘understand’ Linux containers. So if that’s the case then netdata get’s that information somehow via cgroups, api, …
But netdata seems to be a host only monitoring tool and not a monitoring solution at that point.
Might be true for Windows, Docker, LXC, Apps, … almost every router, switch, printer, ups, … has SNMP implemented for monitoring. Might be SNMP will be really deprecated in the future but i think that’s still far away…
It depends on your environment and what your requirements are to say that’s the right monitoring solution, but netdata seems to be far away from that.
