Network I/O Metrics
The netif input plugin gathers network traffic information of the running system every certain interval of time, and reports them.
The Network I/O Metrics plugin creates metrics that are log-based (I.e. JSON payload). If you are looking for Prometheus-based metrics please see the Node Exporter Metrics input plugin.
Configuration Parameters
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Key | Description |

Interface | Specify the network interface to monitor. e.g. eth0 |
Interval_Sec | Polling interval (seconds). default: 1 |
Interval_NSec | Polling interval (nanosecond). default: 0 |
Verbose | If true, gather metrics precisely. default: false |

In order to monitor network traffic from your system, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:

Configuration File

Note: Total interval (sec) = Interval_Sec + (Interval_Nsec / 1000000000).
e.g. 1.5s = 1s + 500000000ns
