Dockwatch is an open-source monitoring tool designed to keep track of Docker containers and notify users about their status through various notification services. It provides real-time alerts for container events such as when a container starts, stops, or restarts, enabling users to promptly address any issues that may arise in their containerized environments. Dockwatch supports multiple notification platforms, including email, Slack, Discord, and more, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows and keeping administrators informed about the health and status of their Docker deployments.
By running as a lightweight, configurable service, Dockwatch continuously monitors the Docker API, ensuring minimal resource usage while offering comprehensive monitoring capabilities. Its customizable filtering and notification options allow users to tailor alerts to their specific needs, helping maintain smooth and reliable operation of Docker containers in both development and production settings.
