# InfiniBand Input Plugin
This plugin gathers statistics for all InfiniBand devices and ports on the system. These are the counters that can be found in /sys/class/infiniband/<dev>/port/<port>/counters/
This plugin gathers statistics for all InfiniBand devices and ports on the
system. These are the counters that can be found in
`/sys/class/infiniband/<dev>/port/<port>/counters/`
**Supported Platforms**: Linux
### Configuration
This section contains the default TOML to configure the plugin. You can
generate it using `telegraf --usage infiniband`.
```toml
[[inputs.infiniband]]
# no configuration
```
There are no configuration options for this plugin.
### Metrics
You can find more information about the counters that are gathered here:
https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/understanding-mlx5-linux-counters-and-status-parameters
Actual metrics depend on the InfiniBand devices, the plugin uses a simple
mapping from counter -> counter value.
[Information about the counters][counters] collected is provided by Mellanox.

- symbol_error (integer)
- unicast_rcv_packets (integer)
- unicast_xmit_packets (integer)
- VL15_dropped (integer)
There is a simple mapping from counter -> counter value. All counter values are 64 bit integers. A seperate measurement is made for each port.
Each measurement is tagged with the device and port that it relates to. These are strings.
