Monitor Docker Trusted Registry
Estimated reading time: 1 minuteDocker Trusted Registry is a Dockerized application. To monitor it, you can use the same tools and techniques you’re already using to monitor other containerized applications running on your cluster. One way to monitor DTR is using the monitoring capabilities of Docker Universal Control Plane.
In your browser, log in to Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP), and navigate to the Applications page.
To make it easier to find DTR, use the search box to search for the DTR application. If you have DTR set up for high-availability, then all the DTR nodes are displayed.
Click on the DTR application to see all of its containers, and if they’re running. Click on a container to see its details, like configurations, resources, and logs.
Health checks
DTR also exposes several endpoints you can use to assess if a DTR replica is healthy or not:
/health: Checks if the several components of a DTR replica are healthy, and returns a simple json response. This is useful for load balancing or other automated health check tasks./load_balancer_status: Checks if the several components of a DTR replica can be reached, and displays that information in a table. This is useful for an administrator to gauge the status of a DTR replica./nginx_status: Returns the number of connections being handled by the NGINX front-end used by DTR./api/v0/meta/cluster_status: Returns extensive information about all DTR replicas.
