Windows Network Protocols

Plugin: network-viewer.plugin Module: PerflibNetworkProtocols

Overview

This collector exposes TCP and UDP stack statistics on Windows systems via a real-time table function.

It queries the TCPv4, TCPv6, UDPv4, and UDPv6 objects from Windows Perflib, combining the results into a single table grouped by transport protocol and IP family.

This collector is only supported on the following platforms:

  • windows

This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

The collector automatically detects all of the metrics, no further configuration is required.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

Setup

Prerequisites

No action required.

via File

There is no configuration file.

Metrics

Live Data

This collector exposes a real-time function for viewing Windows TCP and UDP stack statistics.

Network Protocols

Shows Windows TCP and UDP stack counters grouped by transport protocol (TCP/UDP) and IP family (IPv4/IPv6).

Each row covers one transport+family combination (TCPv4, TCPv6, UDPv4, UDPv6) and includes traffic counters (received, sent, errors), TCP-specific connection counters (active opens, established, passive opens, resets, total segments, retransmitted segments), and the UDP-specific datagrams-with-no-port counter.
