This plugin collects metrics from /proc/interface kernel interface about the traffic (octets per second), packets per second and errors of interfaces.
It's used in the Snap framework.
All OSs currently supported by Snap:
- Linux/amd64
You can get the pre-built binaries for your OS and architecture from the plugin's GitHub Releases page. Download the plugin from the latest release and load it into snapteld (/opt/snap/plugins is the default location for Snap packages).
Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-interface
Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:
$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-interface.git
Build the Snap interface plugin by running make within the cloned repo:
$ make
This builds the plugin in ./build/
- Set up the Snap framework
- Load the plugin and create a task, see example in Examples.
Configuration parameters:
proc_pathpath to '1/net/dev' file (helpful for running plugin in Docker container) In fact this file should NOT be <proc_path>/net/dev because this is a symlink and therefore will resolve in the exact same way both within or outside of a container. Therefore PID 1 has to be used
List of collected metrics is described in METRICS.md.
Plugin reads metrics from <proc_path>/1/net/dev file. (see comment above)
Path to above file can be provided in configuration in task manifest as proc_path. If configuration is not provided, plugin will try
to read from default location which is /proc/1/net/dev.
Example of running Snap interface collector and writing data to file.
Ensure Snap daemon is running:
- initd:
service snap-telemetry start - systemd:
systemctl start snap-telemetry - command line:
snapteld -l 1 -t 0 &
