Supported OS:
The network check collects TCP/IP stats from the host operating system.
The network check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your server.
The Agent enables the network check by default, but if you want to configure the check yourself, edit file network.d/conf.yaml, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory.
See the sample network.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options:
init_config:
instances:
# Network check only supports one configured instance
- collect_connection_state: false # set to true to collect TCP connection state metrics, e.g. SYN_SENT, ESTABLISHED
excluded_interfaces: # the check will collect metrics on all other interfaces
- lo
- lo0
# ignore any network interface matching the given regex:
# excluded_interface_re: eth1.*Restart the Agent to effect any configuration changes.
Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for network under the Checks section.
