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.
