Are you running node_exporter in Docker?

no

What did you do that produced an error?

In the OS kernel, IPv6 is disabled

What did you expect to see?

The work of the netstat module

What did you see instead?

Yes, that should be a soft error. We should also soft-error for ipv4 stats so that people with ipv6-only don't get errors too. 😄

Ahh, that was fixed by #718

This is a duplicate of #717
