Techniques related to communication between independent containers are provided. In an embodiment, a first programmatic container includes one or more first namespaces in which an application program is executing. A second programmatic container includes one or more second namespaces in which a monitoring agent is executing. The one or more first namespaces are independent of the one or more second namespaces. A monitoring agent process hosts the monitoring agent. The monitoring agent is programmed to receive an identifier of the application program. The monitoring agent is further programmed to switch the monitoring agent process from the one or more second namespaces to the one or more first namespaces. After the switch, the monitoring agent process continues to execute in the second programmatic container, but communication is enabled between the application program and the monitoring agent via the monitoring agent process.

Communication between independent containers

A computer-implemented method comprises executing, in a first container of a first computer system, input source instructions; executing, using the same first computer system, a plurality of containerized application programs in different corresponding containers; monitoring, by the input source instructions, the one or more different containerized application programs by identifying one or more system calls that resulted from the different container applications generating statistical messages relating to operation of the containerized application programs; generating, by the input source instructions, one or more enriched messages based on the system calls that were identified and based on the statistical messages; transmitting the one or more enriched messages to a first metric collector, and aggregating a plurality of the enriched messages into a set of aggregated metrics values; sending, from the first metric collector to a monitoring application that is hosted on a second computer system, the aggregated metrics values.
