What grafana dashboard you use to monitor docker containers?

I installed grafana with the intent of monitoring all my containers
(cpu used, network traffic if possibile...)

I enabled the docker daemon logs with this snippet:

\`\`\`

{

        "metrics-addr" : "[0.0.0.0:9999](https://0.0.0.0:9999)",

        "experimental" : true

}

\`\`\`

and now I'm looking for some nice grafana dashboard to visualise these
metrics.

Uhm, logs are not metrics?

How do you want to get metrics (cpu, ram, network etc measurements)
from logs?

Common setup is to deploy cadvisor on a host which then provides
metrics for Prometheus as example, and Grafana can then query those
metrics from Prometheus to turn them into graphs etc.

The counterpart to cadvisor (metrics from docker containers) is node-
exporter (metrics from the host).

I'll second this. I also use Prometheus, node-exporter and cadvisor.

I didn’t mention on the post that I’m using Prometheus already and
node exporter on the host. The question is specifically for a Grafana
dashboard to visualise metrics exposed by docker daemon and scraped by
prometheus

Maybe you should have mentioned it?

193 and 11600 work good for cadvisor, 1860 for node-exporter.

Depends where you storing data. I use influxdb 2 with telegraf and you
can find a template for that just search influxdb 2 docker. Some might
go prometheus way as it’s more popular. I run so many things with
influxdb that’s why I went with it. It’s bit heavier though
