Docker Demo

We prepare a TickTock Demo in a docker image. With a single command to launch the docker, there will be a fully functional demo in the docker,

• A TickTock TSDB;
• A Tcollector collecting OS metrics of the docker and sending to TickTock;
• A Grafana providing metric dashboards to visualize the metrics.

To run TickTock Demo:

1. You need to install Docker Engine first.

2. Then simply run

docker run -d --name ticktock -p 3000:3000 -p 6181-6182:6181-6182 -p 6181:6181/udp ytyou/ticktock:latest-grafana

You can login to the docker as a root, and view processes running there.

   docker exec -u 0 -it <containerId> /bin/bash

3. To see the pre-built dashboard, point your browser to your docker host at port 3000 (e.g. http://localhost:3000).

The initial username/password is admin/admin.

You will be asked to change the password at the first login. Simply skip it if you don't want to.

4. After login, go to "TickTock Demo" dashboard to see metric panels.

The "TickTock Demo" dashboard is initialized with 4 metric panels, i.e., cpu load, memory usage, disk usage, and network usage.
