# Bond Input Plugin

The Bond input plugin collects network bond interface status for both the
network bond interface as well as slave interfaces.
The plugin collects these metrics from `/proc/net/bonding/*` files.

## Configuration

```toml @sample.conf
# Collect bond interface status, slaves statuses and failures count
[[inputs.bond]]
  ## Sets 'proc' directory path
  ## If not specified, then default is /proc
  # host_proc = "/proc"

  ## Sets 'sys' directory path
  ## If not specified, then default is /sys
  # host_sys = "/sys"

  ## By default, telegraf gather stats for all bond interfaces
  ## Setting interfaces will restrict the stats to the specified
  ## bond interfaces.
  # bond_interfaces = ["bond0"]

  ## Tries to collect additional bond details from /sys/class/net/{bond}
  ## currently only useful for LACP (mode 4) bonds
  # collect_sys_details = false
```

## Measurements & Fields

- bond
  - active_slave (for active-backup mode)
  - status

- bond_slave
  - failures
  - status
  - count
  - actor_churned (for LACP bonds)
  - partner_churned (for LACP bonds)
  - total_churned (for LACP bonds)

- bond_sys
  - slave_count
  - ad_port_count

## Description

- active_slave
  - Currently active slave interface for active-backup mode.
- status
  - Status of bond interface or bonds's slave interface (down = 0, up = 1).
- failures
  - Amount of failures for bond's slave interface.
- count
  - Number of slaves attached to bond
- actor_churned
  - number of times local end of LACP bond flapped
- partner_churned
  - number of times remote end of LACP bond flapped
- total_churned
  - full count of all churn events

## Example output

Configuration:

```toml
[[inputs.bond]]
  ## Sets 'proc' directory path
  ## If not specified, then default is /proc
  host_proc = "/proc"

  ## By default, telegraf gather stats for all bond interfaces
  ## Setting interfaces will restrict the stats to the specified
  ## bond interfaces.
  bond_interfaces = ["bond0", "bond1"]
```

Run:

```bash
```shell
telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter bond --test
```

Output:

```bash
```shell
