+
+## Overview
+
+This integration provides socket statistics.
+
+
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
+
+#### 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.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per Socket statistics instance
+
+
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| ip.sockstat_sockets | used | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_tcp_sockets | alloc, orphan, inuse, timewait | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_tcp_mem | mem | KiB |
+| ipv4.sockstat_udp_sockets | inuse | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_udp_mem | mem | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_udplite_sockets | inuse | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_raw_sockets | inuse | sockets |
+| ipv4.sockstat_frag_sockets | inuse | fragments |
+| ipv4.sockstat_frag_mem | mem | KiB |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+
+The following alerts are available:
+
+| Alert name  | On metric | Description |
+|:------------|:----------|:------------|
+| [ tcp_orphans ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/tcp_orphans.conf) | ipv4.sockstat_tcp_sockets | orphan IPv4 TCP sockets utilization |
+| [ tcp_memory ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/tcp_mem.conf) | ipv4.sockstat_tcp_mem | TCP memory utilization |
