==========

* Telegraf v0.2.0+

[Plugin source](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/v1.39.1/plugins/inputs/netstat/)[Download configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/telegraf/refs/tags/v1.39.1/plugins/inputs/netstat/sample.conf)

# 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

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks
such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring
plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

## Configuration

```toml
# 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

## Example Output

```text
netstat tcp_close=0i,tcp_close_wait=0i,tcp_closing=0i,tcp_established=14i,tcp_fin_wait1=0i,tcp_fin_wait2=0i,tcp_last_ack=0i,tcp_listen=1i,tcp_none=46i,tcp_syn_recv=0i,tcp_syn_sent=0i,tcp_time_wait=0i,udp_socket=10i 1668520568000000000
