$

Local OpenTSDB stack

The plugin assumes to find an OpenTSDB (v1) endpoint at localhost:4242, to start one locally you can deploy the docker-compose file:

docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml influxdb
Creating network influxdb_default
Creating service influxdb_backend
Creating service influxdb_frontend

Remote OpenTSDB stack

If you already have a stack, adjust the configuration to find it.

$ docker plugin set qnib/docker-metrics-plugin-opentsdb:latest OPENTSDB_HOST=127.0.0.1
$ docker plugin set qnib/docker-metrics-plugin-opentsdb:latest OPENTSDB_PORT=4242

Enable

$ docker plugin enable qnib/docker-plugin-metrics-opentsdb
qnib/docker-plugin-metrics-opentsdb

Now the grafana4 dashboard (in case you deployed it locally: localhost:3000/dashboard/db/docker-engine) should show you the stats.
