# IPVS Input Plugin
This plugin gathers metrics about the [IPVS virtual and real servers][ipvs]
using the netlink socket interface of the Linux kernel.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The plugin requires `CAP_NET_ADMIN` and `CAP_NET_RAW` capabilities.
> Check the [permissions section](#permissions) for ways to grant them.
⭐ Telegraf v1.9.0
🏷️ network, system
💻 linux
[ipvs]: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ipvs.html
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Collect virtual and real server stats from Linux IPVS
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.ipvs]]
# no configuration
```
### Permissions
Assuming you installed the Telegraf package via one of the published packages,
the process will be running as the `telegraf` user. However, in order for this
plugin to communicate over netlink sockets it needs the telegraf process to have
`CAP_NET_ADMIN` and `CAP_NET_RAW` capabilities.
This is the case when running Telegraf as `root` or some user with
`CAP_NET_ADMIN` and `CAP_NET_RAW`. Alternatively, you can add the capabilities
when starting Telegraf via systemd by running `systemctl edit telegraf.service`
and add the following:
```shell
[Service]
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
```
## Metrics
Server will contain tags identifying how it was configured, using one of
`address` + `port` + `protocol` *OR* `fwmark`. This is how one would normally
configure a virtual server using `ipvsadm`.
- ipvs_virtual_server
- tags:
- sched (the scheduler in use)
- netmask (the mask used for determining affinity)
- address_family (inet/inet6)
- address
- port
- protocol
- fwmark
- fields:
- connections
- pkts_in
- pkts_out
- bytes_in
- bytes_out
- pps_in
- pps_out
- cps
- ipvs_real_server
- tags:
- address
- port
- address_family (inet/inet6)
- virtual_address
- virtual_port
- virtual_protocol
- virtual_fwmark
- fields:
- active_connections
- inactive_connections
- connections
- pkts_in
- pkts_out
- bytes_in
- bytes_out
- pps_in
- pps_out
- cps
## Example Output
Virtual server is configured using `fwmark` and backed by 2 real servers:

Virtual server is configured using `proto+addr+port` and backed by 2 real
servers:
