# net.inet6.ip6.stats
<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/network.svg" width="150"/>
Plugin: freebsd.plugin
Module: net.inet6.ip6.stats
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
## Overview
Collect information abou IPv6 stats.
The plugin calls `sysctl` function to collect necessary data.
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 net.inet6.ip6.stats instance
These metrics show general information about IPv6 connections.
This scope has no labels.
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|:------|:----------|:----|
| ipv6.packets | received, sent, forwarded, delivers | packets/s |
| ipv6.fragsout | ok, failed, all | packets/s |
| ipv6.fragsin | ok, failed, timeout, all | packets/s |
| ipv6.errors | InDiscards, OutDiscards, InHdrErrors, InAddrErrors, InTruncatedPkts, InNoRoutes, OutNoRoutes | packets/s |
## Alerts
There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
## Setup
### Prerequisites
No action required.
### Configuration
#### File
The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:freebsd:net.inet6.ip6.stats]` section within that file.
The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
```ini
[section1]
option1 = some value
option2 = some other value
[section2]
option3 = some third value
```
You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
Netdata [config directory](/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
```
