How to get containers' names on machines?

[hedongyan]

Hello, My input is many ip (ip1,ip2,ip3...), and cadvisor, prometheus, redis had been deployed on machines. The expected output is all containers' matrics. However, querying matrics in prometheus need CONTAINER NAME! What should I do? How to get all container name that running on the specific machine when we known its ip (such as localhost)? Of course, I know we could use "docker ps".But due to limitation of access, we couldn't use SSH because it's not safe. I hope the only port we could access are prometheus and cadvisor. Cloud it be possible?

I think prometheus can add the host IP where the metrics came from using relabeling. See https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#relabel_config, and try using the __address__ label.
