You can also run a verify command on the docker host https://www.outcoldsolutions.com/docs/monitoring-docker/v5/troubleshooting/#verify-configuration that will tell you if there are some issues with the configuration.

Hi, what data collection method are you using?

Monitoring Docker requires collectord. Is that what you have deployed to your cluster?

When you say you see data....what do the events look like?
