telegraf on windows - inputs.docker error in plugin cannot connect to the docker daemon

I have this configuration:

# Read metrics about docker containers

[[inputs.docker]]
  ## Docker Endpoint
  ##   To use TCP, set endpoint = "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
  ##   To use environment variables (ie, docker-machine), set endpoint = "ENV"
  endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

I get this error: "inputs.docker error in plugin cannot connect to the docker daemon" As I understand, that shouldn't work on Windows. I don't understand why the docs still don't explain how to use it on Windows. How do I set the endpoint correctly?

Solution

  • Just add this volume to the Telgraf container:
