Socket statistics

Plugin: proc.plugin Module: /proc/net/sockstat

Overview

This integration provides socket statistics.

This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

Alerts

The following alerts are available:

Alert name	On metric	Description
tcp_orphans	ipv4.sockstat_tcp_sockets	orphan IPv4 TCP sockets utilization
tcp_memory	ipv4.sockstat_tcp_mem	TCP memory utilization

Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per Socket statistics instance

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric	Description	Dimensions	Unit
ip.sockstat_sockets	Sockets used for all address families	used	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_tcp_sockets	IPv4 TCP Sockets	alloc, orphan, inuse, timewait	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_tcp_mem	IPv4 TCP Sockets Memory	mem	KiB
ipv4.sockstat_udp_sockets	IPv4 UDP Sockets	inuse	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_udp_mem	IPv4 UDP Sockets Memory	mem	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_udplite_sockets	IPv4 UDPLITE Sockets	inuse	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_raw_sockets	IPv4 RAW Sockets	inuse	sockets
ipv4.sockstat_frag_sockets	IPv4 FRAG Sockets	inuse	fragments
ipv4.sockstat_frag_mem	IPv4 FRAG Sockets Memory	mem	KiB
