System network metricset
editSystem network metricset
editThe System network
metricset provides network IO metrics collected from the
operating system. One event is created for each network interface.
This metricset is available on:
- FreeBSD
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
Configuration
edit-
interfaces
-
By default metrics are reported from all network interfaces.
To select which interfaces metrics are reported from, use the
interfaces
configuration option. The value must be an array of interface names. For example:
metricbeat.modules: - module: system metricsets: [network] interfaces: [eth0]
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
