## Use cases

If you want to export something from the Docker API in a service this can be useful.

For example it comes with default values to expose the `docker_gwbridge`.

Imagine you are exposing the "metrics" endpoint that comes with docker 1.13 in the 4999 port.

```bash

$ docker run -d --name socat-test -p 4998:4999 localhost:5000/basi/socat:v0.1.0

$ curl localhost:4998/metrics

# HELP engine_daemon_container_actions_seconds The number of seconds it takes to process each container action
