Network Traffic

The netif input plugin gathers network traffic information of the running system every certain interval of time, and reports them.
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
Getting Started
In order to monitor network traffic from your system, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
Command Line
$ bin/fluent-bit -i netif -p interface=eth0 -o stdout

Configuration File
In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:
[INPUT]
    Name          netif
    Tag           netif
    Interval_Sec  1
    Interval_NSec 0
    Interface     eth0
[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *
Note: Total interval (sec) = Interval_Sec + (Interval_Nsec / 1000000000).
e.g. 1.5s = 1s + 500000000ns
