Network Connection Statistics Input Plugin

This plugin collects statistics about TCP connection states and UDP socket counts.

Introduced in: Telegraf v0.2.0 Tags: network OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read TCP metrics such as established, time wait and sockets counts.
[[inputs.netstat]]
  # no configuration

Metrics

Supported TCP Connection states are follows.

• established
• syn_sent
• syn_recv
• fin_wait1
• fin_wait2
• time_wait
• close
• close_wait
• last_ack
• listen
• closing
• none

TCP Connection State measurements

Meta:

• units: counts

Measurement names:

• tcp_established
• tcp_syn_sent
• tcp_syn_recv
• tcp_fin_wait1
• tcp_fin_wait2
• tcp_time_wait
• tcp_close
• tcp_close_wait
• tcp_last_ack
• tcp_listen
• tcp_closing
• tcp_none

If there are no connection on the state, the metric is not counted.

UDP socket counts measurements

Meta:

• units: counts

Measurement names:

• udp_socket
