how to use ipv6 address in mtr and tcp exporters

[varsha-kohirkar]

Hello,

We have been using the network exporter and it works great...but we are moving to ipv6 addresses now and I tried the ipv6 addresses but those arent working in network_exporter.yml file. am I missing something? could you please give me an example of how can I use ipv6 addresses?

By default it supports IPv6 unless it was disabled with the flag, if you specify a DNS record what has an IPv6 it should work by(https://pkg.go.dev/net#Resolver.LookupIPAddr)

network_exporter/pkg/common/func.go

Line 51 in 676ac07

addrs, err := resolver.LookupIPAddr(ctx, host)

Or you can also change the separater from : to space or something and then it works even for ipv6 tcp probes...I tried that From: "Sebastian ***@***.***> Date: Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 2:47 AM Subject: [External] Re: [syepes/network_exporter] how to use ipv6 address in mtr and tcp exporters (Issue #60) To: ***@***.***> Cc: ***@***.***>, "Author"< ***@***.***> By default it supports IPv6 unless it was disabled with the flag, if you specify a DNS record what has an IPv6 it should work by( https://pkg.go.dev/net#Resolver.LookupIPAddr) https://github.com/syepes/network_exporter/blob/676ac07a57764047f38eb904b7ba00e81483f4eb/pkg/common/func.go#L51 — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#60 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/BLG7T7IKICUK4MFKRGNJWI32ACDJXAVCNFSM6AAAAABOBQFZEWVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZDINRXHA2TKOJUHE> .
