Sematext has been recognized by Docker as the Ecosystem Technology Partner (ETP) for monitoring and logging.

This designation indicates that SPM Performance Monitoring and Logsene have demonstrated working integration with the Docker platform via the Docker API and are available to users and organizations that seek solutions to monitor their Dockerized distributed applications.

Sematext Docker Agent is easy to deploy on Docker Swarm, Docker Cloud and Docker Datacenter. It discovers new and existing containers, collects Docker performance metrics, events and logs, and runs in a tiny container on every Docker Host.

In addition to standard log collection functionality the agent performs automatic log format detection and field extraction for a number of log formats, including Docker Swarm, Elasticsearch, Solr, Nginx, Apache, MongoDB, Kubernetes, etc.

Many organizations invest a lot of time in monitoring and logging setups because monitoring and logging changed dramatically with the introduction of Docker and related orchestration tools. Sematext automates performance monitoring and logging for Docker. Operational insights are provided in a single UI, which helps one efficiently correlate metrics, logs and events. Sematext Docker Agent detects many log formats and structures the logs automatically for analysis in Logsene.

Nick Stinemates, VP of Business Development and Technical Alliances said: “The ETP program recognizes organizations like Sematext that have demonstrated integration with the Docker platform to provide users with intelligent insights and increased visibility into their Dockerized environments. The goal is to provide users with the data needed to ensure the highest degree of availability and performance for all their business-critical applications”.
