inotify not working in docker

[kevinkk525]

I built grok_exporter docker-container with the dockerfile from #62 and in the config file "readall=false" and no poll interval but grok_exporter doesn't pick up any line changes.
host system is ubuntu 20.04.

Running the binary on the host system works fine with inotify, just the docker doesn't. Maybe someone can help me with that issue?

ok this one I solved, inotify doesn't work if you bind the source logfile into the container. If you just bind/mount the directory of the logfile then it works. Sorry.
