## Problem/Question As stated in the title, container metrics (lxc containers) are not shown/visible in the Netdata dashboard. Now the version we’re using is v1.37.1. Netdata is installed on the host, and on the same host we have several lxc containers running. Netdata shows metrics for the actual host but not the metrics of the lxc containers. Interestingly, we have the same version of Netdata on another host and there we do not see this problem. ## Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue We tried uninstalling Netdata completely and re-installed it. ## What I expected to happen The dashboard should show lxc container metrics. Below I’ve shared the errors we see in the error.log file on the host where container metrics are not shown. (I’m hitting the body character limit, hence the pastebin link) **On host where the issue is** : > **On host where we see Netdata showing container info but some error related to cgroup-network** : > Please ask if you need more information, happy to provide! ---

Hi, @philip. Let’s do the following: - set `errors flood protection period` to `0` (netdata.conf, `[logs]` section). - clear error log (`sudo cp /dev/null /opt/netdata/var/log/netdata/error.log`, remove `/opt/netdata` if you don’t use the install prefix). - restart netdata service - wait 1 minute - grep cgroup related logs (`grep -i cgroup /opt/netdata/var/log/netdata/error.log`, remove `/opt/netdata` if you don’t use the install prefix). - share the grep output here please ---

@philip do you have any other `group` logs after 11:14:23? ---

Yep, I meant to say `cgroup`. - Some logs can be missing if you haven’t disabled log flood protection (`errors flood protection period`). If you did it - I don’t know what is happening. - We can add cgroups.plugin debug logging but it will require [compiling Netdata with debugging](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/daemon#compiling-netdata-with-debugging). An alternative solution is to create a Docker container with a custom Netdata image (I can do it). Additionally, can you send me a [snapshot](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/dashboard/import-export-print-snapshot#export-a-snapshot) to ilya@netdata.cloud? ---

Hello @ilyam8 I’ve disabled it, as you said, set it to zero (before it was 1200). With cgroup, there was no other logs. The ones I posted were the only cgroup logs, no more after 11:14:23 As to Docker think you said: Do you mean you’ll generate a custom docker image for us so that we can deploy Netdata on our systems using Docker? As you asked, I emailed the snapshot to you. Thank you very much for your assistance! ---

> [@philip](#): > > As to Docker think you said: Do you mean you’ll generate a custom docker image for us so that we can deploy Netdata on our systems using Docker? Yes, just to test. I built a Netdata image [with debugging](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/daemon#compiling-netdata-with-debugging). - Create `netdata.conf` with the following content: ```cmd [logs] debug flags = 0x0000000000100000 ``` - Run this docker command ```docker docker run -d --name=netdata_test_cgroups \ -p 20000:19999 \ -v netdatacache_test_cgroups:/var/cache/netdata \ -v /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro \ -v /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro \ -v /proc:/host/proc:ro \ -v /sys:/host/sys:ro \ -v $(pwd)/netdata.conf:/etc/netdata/netdata.conf \ -v /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro \ --restart unless-stopped \ --cap-add SYS_PTRACE \ --security-opt apparmor=unconfined \ ilyam8/netdata-test-for-github ``` - wait 1 minute - to get the logs ```auto docker logs netdata_test_cgroups 2>&1 | grep -i cgroup | grep -v "UUID" ``` When done, to remove ```bash docker stop netdata_test_cgroups docker rm netdata_test_cgroups docker volume rm netdatacache_test_cgroups docker rmi ilyam8/netdata-test-for-github:latest ``` ---

@ilyam8 No. We don’t see the container metrics. ---

Do you mean the Netdata docker container (netdata\_test\_cgroups) has no container metrics? (`:20000`) ---

@ilyam8 Yes, after creating the container I visited the agent dashboard and I didn’t find the container metrics (usually I would find them in the bottom right) ---

@ilyam8 I followed the instructions [here](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/cgroups.plugin) and uncommented those lines and restarted Netdata, still container metrics are not shown. I uncommented these lines (that “lxc.monitor” pattern line as well) and restarted Netdata but for some reason the container metrics are not shown. Check the screenshot to see the changes I made. Any input on this? ![Screenshot from 2022-12-16 13-33-25](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/netdata2/original/2X/6/6e43e3f60b7ab589a3fcf6e4676b2e7601dfbc32.png) ---

I think you need `lxc.playload.*` (no config changes are needed), not `lxc.monitor.*`. I don’t know what is happening. I see no problems in the logs. I will add more debug logs and build another custom image. ---

Is this correct? I am not sure what the right syntax is. ```auto search for cgroups in subpaths matching = !*/init.scope !*-qemu !*.libvirt-qemu !/init.scope !/system !/systemd !/user !/user.slice !/lxc/*/* !/lxc.monitor !/lxc.payload/*/* /lxc.payload.* * ``` ---

@ilyam8 Sorry to bother but is that the right syntax? I guess an “!” means not to consider that, so I removed it and restarted Netdata but still nothing - no information on container metrics. [Next page](https://community.netdata.cloud/t/lxc-containers-stats-are-not-shown/3616.md?page=2)
