IPVS Input Plugin (Linux)

The IPVS input plugin uses the linux kernel netlink socket interface to gather metrics about ipvs virtual and real servers.

Configuration

inputs.ipvs

no configuration

Permissions

Assuming you installed the telegraf package via one of the published packages, the process will be running as the telegraf user. However, in order for this plugin to communicate over netlink sockets it needs the telegraf process to be running as root (or some user with CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_NET_RAW). Be sure to ensure these permissions before running telegraf with this plugin included.

Sample Output

This is what you can expect the emitted metrics to look like
