Docker

The fleet-wide Docker management settings β€” the container poll cadence and how long stat samples are kept.

Settings β†’ Docker holds two fleet-wide settings for Docker management. Operators can view the page; only admins can save, so Save shows a permission error for a read-only operator. Both values are stored encrypted, and changes are audited like any other setting.

The fleet-wide Docker settings β€” the refresh cadence and the stat-sample retention window.

Refresh cadence

How often SpipCP checks every Docker instance for container state and stats (5–600 seconds, default 30s). Each check records the running containers, saves one stat sample per container, and marks any container that has disappeared as gone.

The cadence takes effect after the next worker restart. A changed cadence applies once the worker restarts β€” it's a rarely-touched fleet-wide setting, not a per-request one.

Sample retention

How long CPU / memory / network / IO samples are kept before they're trimmed (1–90 days, default 7 days). These samples drive the sparklines on the container page, so this sets how much history you see. A longer window gives a deeper trend at the cost of more stored data.

A changed retention window takes effect on the next hourly cleanup β€” no restart needed.

What's not here

Per-app alert rules aren't a global setting β€” they're scoped to a node, instance, or app and live on the container's Alerts view, so the most-specific rule wins. This page is only the two fleet-wide cadence and retention settings.
