Working monitoring solution for Docker Containers and Swarm?
Based on your requirements, it sounds like Sematext Docker Agent would be a good fit. It runs as a tiny container on each Docker host and collects all host+containers metrics, events, and logs. It can parse logs, route them, blacklist/whitelist them, has container auto-discovery, and so on. In the end logs end up in Logsene and metrics and events end up in SPM, which gives you a single pane of glass sort of view into all your Docker ops bits, with alerting, anomaly detection, correlation, and so on.
I am currently evaluating bosun with scollector + cAdvisor support. Look ok so far.
Edit:It should meet all the listed requirements and a little bit more. :)
Take a look at Axibase Time-Series Database / Google Cadvisor / collectd stack.
Disclosure: I work for the company that develops ATSD.
- Deploy 1 Cadvisor container per VM to collect Docker container statistics. Cadvisor front-end allows you to view top container processes.
- Deploy 1 ATSD container to ingest data from multiple Cadvisor instances.
- Deploy collectd daemon on each VM to collect host statistics, configure collectd daemons to stream data into ATSD using write_atsd plugin.

Alerts:
- ATSD comes with a built-in rule engine. You can configure a rule to watch when containers stops collecting data and trigger an email or system command.
