Is anyone running sensu-client inside a (multi-process) Docker container? Is this a good use-case?

Thanks,

Mathias

It was my understanding that inside a container we cannot have does kind of metrics because they are low level information shared from the linux host. Does anybody knows of a way to gather metrics from inside a docker container with a sensu client and sensu checks system?
