You can deploy and use Scope as a container in your application or configure its probes to send data to our always-on cloud hosted Scope service.
Scope users can see what’s happening with their application in real time, see resource metrics, attach to a container or launch a terminal and diagnose application problems.
Docker Compose is a great way to assemble and launch a collection of microservices – and it’s incredibly easy to include a Scope probe in the mix.
In both blocks below, replace MY_SCOPE_SERVICE_TOKEN
with the token you find when you log in to the Scope service.
Here’s the YAML snippet for inclusion in the services
block of Docker Compose 1.6+, format version 2:
<code>version: '2' services: probe: image: weaveworks/scope:0.13.1 network_mode: "host" pid: "host" privileged: true labels: - "works.weave.role=system" volumes: - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw" command: - "--probe.docker" - "true" - "--service-token" - "MY_SCOPE_SERVICE_TOKEN" </code>
If you’re using an older version of Docker Compose there’s no services
block and network_mode
changes to net
.
<code>probe: image: weaveworks/scope:0.13.1 net: "host" pid: "host" privileged: true labels: - "works.weave.role=system" volumes: - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw" command:</code><code> - "--probe.docker" - "true" </code><code> - "--service-token" - "MY_SCOPE_SERVICE_TOKEN" </code>
Now, you can run docker-compose up -d
and watch as the probe starts sending data to Scope, running at scope.weave.works.
Update: keen eyed members of the Weaveworks team note that as Docker Compose supports variables, the YAML below can also be launched using SCOPE_TOKEN=abcdef_my_scope_token docker-compose up -d
<code>version: '2' services: probe: image: weaveworks/scope:0.13.1 network_mode: "host" pid: "host" privileged: true labels: - "works.weave.role=system" volumes: - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw" command: - "--probe.docker" - "true" - "--service-token" - "${SCOPE_TOKEN}" </code>
