See this section in the full configuration reference

The ethstat plugin collects information about network interface cards (NICs) by talking directly with the underlying kernel driver using ioctl(2).

Synopsis:

<Plugin "ethstat">
  Interface "eth0"
  Map "rx_csum_offload_errors" "if_rx_errors" "checksum_offload"
  Map "multicast" "if_multicast"
</Plugin>

Options:

Interface Name: Collect statistical information about interface Name.
Map Name Type [TypeInstance]: By default, the plugin will submit values as type derive and type instance set to Name, the name of the metric as reported by the driver. If an appropriate Map option exists, the given Type and, optionally, TypeInstance will be used.
MappedOnly true|false: When set to true, only metrics that can be mapped to a type will be collected, all other metrics will be ignored. Defaults to false.
