| 76 | The following alerts are available: |
| 77 | |
| 78 | | Alert name | On metric | Description | |
| 79 | |:------------|:----------|:------------| |
| 80 | | [ netfilter_conntrack_full ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/health/health.d/netfilter.conf) | netfilter.conntrack_sockets | netfilter connection tracker table size utilization | |

| 83 | ## Metrics |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Metrics grouped by *scope*. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | |
| 90 | |
| 91 | ### Per Conntrack instance |
| 92 | |
| 93 | |
| 94 | |
| 95 | This scope has no labels. |
