# Ipset Input Plugin
This plugin gathers packets and bytes counters from [Linux IP sets][ipsets]
using the `ipset` command line tool.
> [!NOTE]
> IP sets created without the "counters" option are ignored.
⭐ Telegraf v1.6.0
🏷️ network, system
💻 linux
[ipsets]: https://ipset.netfilter.org/
## 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
# Gather packets and bytes counters from Linux ipsets
[[inputs.ipset]]
## By default, we only show sets which have already matched at least 1 packet.
## set include_unmatched_sets = true to gather them all.
# include_unmatched_sets = false
## Adjust your sudo settings appropriately if using this option ("sudo ipset save")
## You can avoid using sudo or root, by setting appropriate privileges for
## the telegraf.service systemd service.
# use_sudo = false
## Add number of entries and number of individual IPs (resolve CIDR syntax) for each ipset
# count_per_ip_entries = false
## The default timeout of 1s for ipset execution can be overridden here:
# timeout = "1s"
```
### Permissions
There are 3 ways to grant telegraf the right to run ipset:
- Run as root (strongly discouraged)
- Use sudo
- Configure systemd to run telegraf with CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_NET_RAW
capabilities
#### Using sudo
To use sudo set the `use_sudo` option to `true` and update your sudoers file:
```bash
$ visudo
# Add the following line:
Cmnd_Alias IPSETSAVE = /sbin/ipset save
telegraf ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: IPSETSAVE
Defaults!IPSETSAVE !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
```
#### Using systemd capabilities
You may run `systemctl edit telegraf.service` and add the following:
```text
[Service]
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
```
## Metrics
- ipset
- tags:
- rule
- set
- fields:
- timeout
- packets
- bytes
- ipset (for `count_per_ip_entries = true`)
- tags:
- set
- fields:
- entries
- ips
## Example Output
```sh
$ sudo ipset save
create myset hash:net family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 65536 counters comment
add myset 10.69.152.1 packets 8 bytes 672 comment "machine A"
```
```text
