# Docker Compose Health Monitor

Monitors Docker Compose service health using the Docker Engine API (/containers/{id}/json) and docker-compose ps parsing. Tracks container restart counts via the RestartCount field and logs analysis through the /containers/{id}/logs endpoint.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- Docker Engine releases are tagged with a **docker-** prefix (e.g. docker-v29.0.0 for Docker Engine 29.0.0).

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
- ## Relationship with Docker
- The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project.
