# IPVS Input Plugin
The IPVS input plugin uses the linux kernel netlink socket interface to gather
metrics about ipvs virtual and real servers.
**Supported Platforms:** Linux
### Configuration:
```toml
[[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.
### Example Output:
```
