cadvisor not exposing up metrics for all running containers and services

[Achy]

Hello All,

I am running docker-compose setup and using cadvisor to expose the container metrics but I don't see UP metrics is being written for all the containers.

Can you help?

Can you explain what you mean by UP metrics for containers?

https://github.com/google/cadvisor/blob/master/docs/storage/prometheus.md

Here's a list of all the cadvisor metrics that are written out, my advice would be if you want to check whether a container is up or down to check whether there is any memory in use like we have set in our alertmanager rules:

absent(container_memory_usage_bytes{name="jenkins"})
