Examples

Collect every 10s

[[collectors]]
name = "net"
interval = 10

[[collectors]]
name = "net"
interval = 10
filter = 'iface is "eth0"'

Alert on receive errors

[[alerts]]
expr = 'net.rx_errors{iface="eth0"} > 0'
count = 3
channel = "ops"
body = "{{ labels.iface }} dropping packets: {{ value }} errors"

Strip noisy virtual interfaces

[[collectors]]
name = "net"
interval = 10
filter = '!(iface ~ "veth*" || iface ~ "docker*" || iface is "lo")'
