Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the input and output errors for network interfaces. If the number of network interface input errors or output errors exceeds the threshold you set, AppManager raises an event.
This Knowledge Script runs on the Network Interface object. However, the NetInterfacesErrors Knowledge Script 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.

Description |
How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
Event if network interface input errors exceed the threshold? (y/n) |
Set to y to raise an event if the percentage of network interface input errors exceeds the threshold. The default is y. |
|
Collect data on input errors? (y/n) |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If set to y, the script returns the percentage of input errors for the interval. The default is n. |
|
Maximum percentage of input errors (%) threshold |
Specify the maximum percentage of network interface input errors that should be allowed before raising an event. The default is 80%. |
|
Event if network interface output errors exceed the threshold? (y/n) |
Set to y to raise an event if the percentage of network interface output errors exceeds the threshold. The default is y. |
|
Collect data on output errors? (y/n) |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If set to y, the script returns the percentage of output errors for the interval. The default is n. |
|
Maximum percentage of output errors (%) threshold |
Specify the maximum percentage of network interface output errors 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. |
