Deprecated Docker agent for collecting host and container metrics, logs, and events for Sematext monitoring.
Sematext Docker Agent was a containerized monitoring agent that collected host metrics, container performance data, logs, and events from Docker environments. It served as a data collector for the Sematext monitoring platform, providing comprehensive observability for containerized infrastructure. The project has been deprecated in favor of newer Sematext monitoring solutions.
DevOps engineers and SREs monitoring Docker-based infrastructure who needed unified metrics, logs, and events collection. Teams using Sematext for monitoring their container environments.
It provided a single Docker container solution for comprehensive Docker monitoring data collection, simplifying deployment compared to multiple separate agents. The agent offered native Docker integration for seamless metrics, logs, and events collection.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Collected host metrics, container performance, logs, and events in a single agent, reducing deployment complexity for Docker environments.
Deployed as a Docker container itself, aligning with container-native practices and simplifying installation compared to traditional agent setups.
Leveraged Docker Engine APIs to gather comprehensive data, including daemon events and container lifecycle, for seamless monitoring.
Designed specifically to feed data into the Sematext platform, providing out-of-the-box dashboards and alerts without custom configuration.
The project is no longer maintained, meaning it lacks updates, security patches, and support for newer Docker versions or features.
Tightly coupled with Sematext's proprietary platform, limiting flexibility if switching to other monitoring solutions or multi-cloud setups.
Focused solely on Docker environments without native support for orchestrated systems like Kubernetes, which are now standard in production.
