packetforward (Linux)

Counts number of packets/bytes passing through the eth0 interface of a Node, along with the direction of the packets.

Metrics​

See metrics for Basic Mode (Advanced modes have identical metrics).

Note: adv_forward_count and adv_forward_bytes metrics are NOT associated with packetforward plugin despite similarities in name. These metrics are associated with packetparser plugin.

Architecture​

The plugin utilizes eBPF to gather data. The plugin generates Basic metrics from an eBPF result.
