Monitor your ETH-Docker or any docker based node using Scale3 Autopilot

When running Docker for your ETH nodes, you need to follow these steps to add Scale3 Autopilot monitoring:

• You need to expose metrics port for your Execution and Consensus clients; here is a table of clients and port mappings. Follow steps below to expose metrics port:
• Check your COMPOSE_FILE to determine what ports to expose

cd ~/eth-docker/ && cat .env | grep -e COMPOSE_FILE=

COMPOSE_FILE=nimbus-cl-only.yml:nethermind.yml:grafana.yml:grafana-shared.yml

• In the example above, the result is nimbus and nethermind. I need to modify those two client configurations to expose my metrics port to Scale3 Grafana agent.
• We need to add a line to expose the Nimbus metrics port

- "8008:8008" 

• Backup the nimbus config file before making any modifications

cp nimbus-cl-only.yml nimbus-cl-only.yml.bk

• Open the file using nano and navigate to the ports section

nano nimbus-cl-only.yml

• Add a line for exposing 8008 as shown below. Be sure the indentation lines up with existing entries

• Save the file using Ctrl + S then Ctrl + X to exit
• Verify the changes have taken effect

cat nimbus-cl-only.yml | grep -e "8008:8008"

• Repeat the same process for Nethermind or any client of choice. Pay attention to the metrics port and adjust accordingly
• Example below I will expose port 6060 by adding “6060:6060” under the ports:

• Next run ethd up to restart the containers and have the changes take effect
• You can verify the posts are now exposed by running

docker ps --format "{{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Ports}}" | grep consensus
docker ps --format "{{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Ports}}" | grep execution
