Sensu Network Interface Checks

Table of Contents

Overview

The Sensu Network Interface Checks are Linux Sensu Metrics Check that provides baseline network metrics in prometheus format.

Output Metrics

Name Type Description
bytes_sent counter Bytes sent
bytes_sent_rate gauge Bytes sent per second
bytes_recv counter Bytes received
bytes_recv_rate gauge Bytes received per second
packets_sent counter Packets sent
packets_sent_rate gauge Packets sent per second
packets_recv counter Packets received
packets_recv_rate gauge Packets received per second
err_out counter Outbound errors
err_out_rate gauge Outbound errors per second
err_in counter Inbound errors
err_in_rate gauge Inbound errors per second
drop_out counter Outbound packets dropped
drop_out_rate gauge Outbound packets dropped per second
drop_in counter Inbound packets dropped
drop_in_rate gauge Inbound packets dropped per second

Rate Metrics

In order to obtain rate metrics the --state-file argument must be used. The state file holds previous values and millisecond accurate timestamp, which are used to calculate metric rate using a simple time difference between current values and previously recorded values in the state file. By default rate metrics are only calculated if the stored values in the selected state file are less than 60 seconds old. You can optionally set the maximum allowed time interval using --max-rate-interval if the 60 second default isn't suitable.

If the state file does not exist or if the state is too stale, the rate metrics will not be produced.

Network Interface Checks

Usage:
  network-interface-checks [flags]
  network-interface-checks [command]

Available Commands:
  completion  generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help        Help about any command
  version     Print the version number of this plugin

Flags:

Configuration

Asset registration

Sensu Assets are the best way to make use of this plugin. If you're not using an asset, please
consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 with Sensu Backend 5.13 or later, you can use the
following command to add the asset:

sensuctl asset add sensu/network-interface-checks

If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can find the asset on the Bonsai Asset Index.
