It supports two primary operations: push and pop. More \u00bb<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> allows you to manage configuration data through the configs<\/code> feature. This is particularly useful for non-sensitive data that your services need to function correctly, such as configuration files or environment settings.<\/p>\n
configs:\n  my_config:\n    file: .\/config.yml<\/code><\/pre>\n
You can mount this configuration in your services just like secrets.<\/p>\n
Monitoring and Logging<\/h2>\n
Monitoring the health and performance of your deployed stacks is crucial for operational excellence. Docker provides various tools and integrations to enhance monitoring capabilities, such as:<\/p>\n
1. Docker Metrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Use the Docker CLI to retrieve metrics about your services:<\/p>\n
docker service ps<\/a><\/span>Docker Service PS is a command-line tool that displays the status of services in a Docker Swarm. It provides insights into service instances, replicas, and their health, facilitating effective container orchestration management.

3. Docker Logging Drivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Docker supports various logging drivers that allow you to centralize logs from multiple containers. You can configure logging in your stack<\/a><\/span>A stack is a data structure that operates on a Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle, where the most recently added element is the first to be removed.
