Configure network settings đź”—

Collector receivers leverage network configuration to set connection and transport information.

You can configure the following network settings:

  • endpoint. Configures the address for this network connection.

    • For TCP and UDP networks, the address has the form "host:port". The host must be a literal IP address, or a host name that can be resolved to IP addresses. The port must be a literal port number or a service name.

    • If the host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[2001:db8::1]:80" or "[fe80::1%zone]:80". The zone specifies the scope of the literal IPv6 address as defined in RFC 4007.

  • transport. You can use the following protocols:

    • “tcp”

    • “tcp4” (IPv4-only)

    • “tcp6” (IPv6-only)

    • “udp”

    • “udp4” (IPv4-only)

    • “udp6” (IPv6-only)

    • “ip”

    • “ip4” (IPv4-only)

    • “ip6” (IPv6-only)

    • “unix”

    • “unixgram”

    • “unixpacket”

  • dialer_timeout. No timeout by default. The maximum amount of time a dial waits for a connect to complete.

Note

TCP receivers only require the endpoint configuration setting.
