Resources in the information system are not unlimited. Therefore, we should monitor resource usage as we monitor the operation of the information system. Docker container as a part of an information system is our main monitoring objective in this thesis.
A set of tools for monitoring Docker containers is presented: from a simple, in-built tool, to more complex SaaS service cloud monitoring tools. The Kubernetes platform monitoring tools are also presented. A practical example illustrates the use of some of the presented tools.
Based on the comparative analysis, proposals are made for the use of proper monitoring tool in the aspect of the complexity and diversity of monitored elements and additional guidance that can be helpful in deciding which monitoring tool to use.
