Docker monitoring without turning it into a platform project.

NovaUI includes collector feature toggles for container metrics and Docker logs. That makes Docker a good adjacent use case when the underlying host is still a Linux server managed through Nova's collector flow.

The goal is not to replace a full container platform observability stack. The goal is to make small Docker deployments easier to inspect when something restarts, fills disk, or produces noisy logs.

Start with Linux host metrics and journal logs. Enable Docker metrics and Docker logs only where the extra signal is useful, because container logs can grow quickly.

Use file log monitoring for specific application logs when Docker logs are too broad or too noisy.
