I've summarized the text for you: Configuring Docker Telegraf Input Plugin is crucial to monitor containers with InfluxDB. The author started by creating two images, one for a static HTML page and another for an nginx reverse proxy image that forwards requests to all of the static app containers in Round Robin with a built-in DNS resolver. They configured a docker-compose.yml file and created a config file using telegraf --input-filter docker --output-filter influxdb config > docker_telegraf.conf. The author used Telegraf and InfluxDB to monitor their containers locally, sending metrics to the default "telegraf" database. After running several tests, they were able to see that the proxy was successfully working and Telegraf was gathering metrics from their containers. However, this exercise has left them with many unanswered questions about container monitoring, DevOps, and InfluxDB.
