Getting Started

To get started, lets monitor a container, make an HTTP request from it and see that request appear in Trayce.

1. Start a Container

Lets start an alpine container and install curl on it:

docker run -it alpine sh
apk add curl

Verify it works by running curl https://trayce.dev:

2. Monitor the Container

Open Trayce, click on the Docker icon in the sidebar: Click on the “Containers” button, copy the command and run it in a console window. This will start the TrayceAgent.

If the containers you wish to monitor are not running on the default network, you will have to append a --network arg to the command.

Once the TrayceAgent has sucessfully started, the modal will change to a list of running containers. Check which container you want to monitor and click “Save”. In our case we want to monitor the alpine container we started in step 1.

3. Make a Request

Go back to the shell console on the alpine container, and re-run curl https://trayce.dev, you should now see this request was picked up by Trayce and displayed in the GUI:
