Hi Deeraj,

While the Node Exporter exposes transmit / receive metrics for each network
interface, this information would not tell you where the traffic is going.
Putting destinations like public IPs into Prometheus label values would
quickly create unboundedly large cardinality (huge numbers of time series)
that would blow up your Prometheus server. Putting network IDs in there
(like AS numbers) probably would still be problematic, but somewhat less
so, depending on your use case. However, you'd anyways need to build some
kind of exporter that tells you that kind of level of detail in your
metrics first. Some exporters like
https://github.com/neptune-networks/flow-exporter actually capture Netflow
data and report source and destination AS identities, maybe that can be
interesting to take a look at.

Regards,
Julius
