This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. This integration doesn't support auto-detection. The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. Metrics grouped by scope. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. This scope has no labels. Metrics: | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |:|:-|:-| | system.net | received, sent | kilobits/s | Labels: | Label | Description | |:--|:-| | interface_type | TBD | | device | TBD | Metrics: | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |:|:-|:-| | net.net | received, sent | kilobits/s | | net.speed | speed | kilobits/s | | net.duplex | full, half, unknown | state | | net.operstate | up, down, notpresent, lowerlayerdown, testing, dormant, unknown | state | | net.carrier | up, down | state | | net.mtu | mtu | octets | | net.packets | received, sent, multicast | packets/s | | net.errors | inbound, outbound | errors/s | | net.drops | inbound, outbound | drops/s | | net.fifo | receive, transmit | errors | | net.compressed | received, sent | packets/s | | net.events | frames, collisions, carrier | events/s | The following alerts are available: | Alert name | On metric | Description | |:|:-|:| | | net.net | network interface ${label:device} current speed | | | net.net | average inbound utilization for the network interface ${label:device} over the last minute | | | net.net | average outbound utilization for the network interface ${label:device} over the last minute | | | net.drops | ratio of inbound dropped packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 minutes | | | net.drops | ratio of outbound dropped packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 minutes | | | net.drops | ratio of inbound dropped packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 minutes | | | net.drops | ratio of outbound dropped packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 minutes | | | net.packets | average number of packets received by the network interface ${label:device} over the last minute | | | net.packets | ratio of average number of received packets for the network interface ${label:device} over the last 10 seconds, compared to the rate over the last minute | | | net.fifo | number of FIFO errors for the network interface ${label:device} in the last 10 minutes | No action required. There is no configuration file. There are no configuration options. There are no configuration examples.
