Suggestions about Docker Agent

[UnclePhil]

First of all, I love the Pulse concept for Proxmox and I use it intensively on my infrastructure.

The docker host monitoring is also a nice concept, but in my use case it will be too verbose.
I'm working on 4 docker SwarmMode clusters with 6 nodes each, and an average of 30 stacks (or 150 containers ) on each cluster.
So when i start the agent on each node I receive a lot of (non) information and a flood of notifications because the number of exited or moving container is very high.
And in this configuration i need to stop all agents.
But your idea is really amazing and i feel that we can tune it. So i had a look on your code and i have some remarks .

First of all split the code between the core system and the agent and create his own repo. In this case we can fork the agent code and propose some PR just for this.

More idea at the agent level

• allow to chose the type of monitored container (in my case, running but not paused or exited)
• allow to monitor the service and/or the task level when agent is running in swarm environment
• allow to modify the agent reaction when we work in global or manager mode

I think I can help you at this level, but in this case the code split is really mandatory ... and can help if you invent more agent

Thank you for this nice product.
Hope i can help you deeper in the swarm monitoring

Best regards
