NAME

Plugin_procnet - man page for the LDMS procnet plugin

SYNOPSIS

config name=procnet [common attributes] [exclude_ports=<devs>]

DESCRIPTION

With LDMS (Lightweight Distributed Metric Service), plugins for the ldmsd (ldms daemon) are configured via ldmsd_controller or a configuration file. The procnet plugin provides network info from /proc/net/dev, creating a different set for each device, reporting only active devices, and reporting an active device only when counters change.

CONFIGURATION ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX

The procnet plugin uses the sampler_base base class. This man page covers only the configuration attributes, or those with default values, specific to the this plugin; see ldms_sampler_base.man for the attributes of the base class.

This MUST be procnet.

exclude_ports=<devs>

Comma separated list of ports to exclude.

schema=<schema>

BUGS

Interfaces reported and exclude_ports lists are each limited to 20.
