Configurable Docker endpoint

[lnguyen]

Is it possible to make docker endpoint configurable and have a default if it isn't specified

[sparrc]

can you provide more details?

@sparrc my guess is Docker over TCP, resp. DOCKER_HOST=tcp://X.X.X.X:2375/ instead of U*nix socket in /var/run/docker.sock.

My unix socket isn't running at /var/lib/run/docker.sock. and would like for it to be configurable so I can use this awesome plugin for my servers.

@longnguyen11288 I'd say this is rather question for https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/ which is being utilized by Telegraf.

EDIT: link to gopsutil

@longnguyen11288 It should be fairly easy to change this: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/system/ps.go#L139

But does your system still have the cgroup files (such as /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/docker) available locally? because https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/ relies on these local files to gather stats.
