# Example Input Plugin The input plugin test UDP/TCP connections response time. It can also check response text. ### Configuration: ``` # List of UDP/TCP connections you want to check [[inputs.net_response]] protocol = "tcp" # Server address (default IP localhost) address = "github.com:80" # Set timeout (default 1.0) timeout = 1.0 # Set read timeout (default 1.0) read_timeout = 1.0 # String sent to the server send = "ssh" # Expected string in answer expect = "ssh" [[inputs.net_response]] protocol = "tcp" address = ":80" [[inputs.net_response]] protocol = "udp" # Server address (default IP localhost) address = "github.com:80" # Set timeout (default 1.0) timeout = 1.0 # Set read timeout (default 1.0) read_timeout = 1.0 # String sent to the server send = "ssh" # Expected string in answer expect = "ssh" [[inputs.net_response]] protocol = "udp" address = "localhost:161" timeout = 2.0 ``` ### Measurements & Fields: - net_response - response_time (float, seconds) - string_found (bool) # Only if "expected: option is set ### Tags: - All measurements have the following tags: - server - port - protocol ### Example Output: ``` $ ./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -input-filter net_response -test net_response,server=192.168.2.2,port=22,protocol=tcp response_time=0.18070360500000002,string_found=true 1454785464182527094 net_response,server=192.168.2.2,port=2222,protocol=tcp response_time=1.090124776,string_found=false 1454784433658942325 ```
