Timothy Chen commented on MESOS-3688:
-------------------------------------
One problem of just getting the container id, is that Mesos doesn't gurantee
the naming of the container to be the same across all versions. We started with
mesos-[containerId] but actually moved to mesos-[siaveId]/[containerId].
One reliable way to get all information about the docker container, is actually
just read the Docker inspect JSON output that's part of the TaskStatus
(TASK_RUNNING) update in the message field, and you can find the name of the
container in there.

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: containerization
> Affects Versions: 0.24.1
> Reporter: Raffaele Di Fazio
> Assignee: Kapil Arya
> Labels: mesosphere

> We want to get the Docker Name (or Docker ID, or both) when launching a
> container task with mesos. The container name is generated by mesos itself
> (i.e. mesos-77e5fde6-83e7-4618-a2dd-d5b10f2b4d25, obtained with "docker ps")
> and it would be nice to expose this information to frameworks so that this
> information can be used, for example by Marathon to give this information to
> users via a REST API.
> To go a bit in depth with our use case, we have files created by fluentd
> logdriver that are named with Docker Name or Docker ID (full or short) and we
> need a mapping for the users of the REST API and thus the first step is to
> make this information available from mesos.
