Description

I've been trying to use the docker lookup to log the container id and name; I've set the DOCKER_URI to various values including [unix:///var/run/docker.sock]  and http://localhost.  The following curl command has worked perfectly (curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http:/localhost/containers/json)  I mounted the location to the docker.sock to the container -> /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock.  I've stepped through the docker lookup method either the creation of the URL is not correct or when set to http://localhost or tcp://localhost:2375 I'm getting an access error.

 

What is the correct value of the DOCKER_URI in order for the docker lookup method to pull the content for the container?
