Use this Knowledge Script to monitor network interface collision. The Knowledge Script checks the percentage of network interface collisions in the interval. If the percentage of network interface collisions exceeds the threshold you set, AppManager raises an event.
On AIX, do not use this Knowledge Script to monitor collisions on an Ethernet device. AIX does not provide collision count information for Ethernet devices. If you monitor an Ethernet device on AIX, this Knowledge Script returns a collision count value 0.
This Knowledge Script runs on the Network Interface object. However, it ignores the loopback device.
On Solaris, the UNIX agent must run as root or as a user with root-level authority to retrieve counters associated with the UX Networking performance object. Before running this Knowledge Script, configure the UNIX agent to run as root or as a user that has been given root‑level authority using the sudo configuration file.
Network Interface icon on Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX.
The default interval for this script is Every 5 minutes.

Description |
How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
Event if network interface collision exceeds the threshold? (y/n) |
Set to y to raise an event if the percentage of network interface collision exceeds the threshold. The default is y. |
|
Collect data? (y/n) |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. The default is n. |
|
Maximum collision rate (%) threshold |
Enter the maximum percentage of network interface collision that should be allowed before raising an event. The default is 80%. |
|
Event severity level |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default severity level is 15. |
|
Event severity for internal failure |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which this job experienced an internal error. The default is 5. |
|
Enable debugging? (y/n) |
Set to y to enable debugging. The default is n. |
