SFlow Input Plugin

The SFlow Input Plugin provides support for acting as an SFlow V5 collector in accordance with the specification from sflow.org.

Currently only Flow Samples of Ethernet / IPv4 & IPv4 TCP & UDP headers are turned into metrics. Counters and other header samples are ignored.

Series Cardinality Warning

This plugin may produce a high number of series which, when not controlled for, will cause high load on your database. Use the following techniques to avoid cardinality issues:

Configuration
[[inputs.sflow]]
  ## Address to listen for sFlow packets.
  ##   example: service_address = "udp://:6343"
  ##            service_address = "udp4://:6343"
  ##            service_address = "udp6://:6343"
  service_address = "udp://:6343"

  ## Set the size of the operating system's receive buffer.
  ##   example: read_buffer_size = "64KiB"
  # read_buffer_size = ""
Metrics

Troubleshooting

The sflowtool utility can be used to print sFlow packets, and compared against the metrics produced by Telegraf.

sflowtool -p 6343

If opening an issue, in addition to the output of sflowtool it will also be helpful to collect a packet capture. Adjust the interface, host and port as needed:

$ sudo tcpdump -s 0 -i eth0 -w telegraf-sflow.pcap host 127.0.0.1 and port 6343
Example Output
