Conntrack Plugin
Collects stats from Netfilter's conntrack-tools.
The conntrack-tools provide a mechanism for tracking various aspects of network connections as they are processed by netfilter. At runtime, conntrack exposes many of those connection statistics within /proc/sys/net. Depending on your kernel version, these files can be found in either /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter or /proc/sys/net/netfilter and will be prefixed with either ip_ or nf_. This plugin reads the files specified in its configuration and publishes each one as a field, with the prefix normalized to ip_.
In order to simplify configuration in a heterogeneous environment, a superset of directory and filenames can be specified. Any locations that don't exist will be ignored.
For more information on conntrack-tools, see the Netfilter Documentation.
Configuration:
# Collects conntrack stats from the configured directories and files.
[[inputs.conntrack]]
## The following defaults would work with multiple versions of conntrack.
## Note the nf_ and ip_ filename prefixes are mutually exclusive across
## kernel versions, as are the directory locations.
## Superset of filenames to look for within the conntrack dirs.
## Missing files will be ignored.
files = ["ip_conntrack_count","ip_conntrack_max",
"nf_conntrack_count","nf_conntrack_max"]
## Directories to search within for the conntrack files above.
## Missing directrories will be ignored.
dirs = ["/proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter","/proc/sys/net/netfilter"]
Measurements & Fields:
- conntrack
- ip_conntrack_count (int, count): the number of entries in the conntrack table
- ip_conntrack_max (int, size): the max capacity of the conntrack table
