4.32 NetInterfacesIO

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the input and output rate for network interfaces in bytes per second. If the rate of network traffic for input, output, or both exceeds the threshold you set, AppManager raises an event. You cannot use this Knowledge Script in Solaris zones that are not global zones.

This Knowledge Script runs on the Network Interface object. However, the NetInterfacesIO Knowledge Script ignores the loopback device.

Description

How to Set It

Event Settings

Event severity level

Event?

Select Yes to raise events. The default is Yes.

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.

Threshold settings

Bytes sent and received per second threshold

Specify a threshold for the maximum number of bytes sent and received per second to monitor the throughput rate for the network interface. The default is 8000000 bytes.

Bytes sent per second threshold

Specify a threshold for the maximum number of bytes sent per second. The default is 8000000 bytes.

Bytes received per second threshold

Specify a threshold for the maximum number of bytes received per second. The default is 8000000 bytes.

Maximum network bandwidth utilization (%) threshold

Specify a threshold for the maximum percent of network bandwidth. The default is 10%.

Collect data settings

Collect data for throughput per second?

Select Yes to collect data for charts and reports. If set to Yes, the script returns the rate of bytes sent and received per second for each interface. The default is unselected.

Collect data for bytes sent per second?

Select Yes to collect data for charts and reports. If set to Yes, the script returns the rate of bytes sent per second for each interface. The default is unselected.

Collect data for bytes received per second?

Select Yes to collect data for charts and reports. If set to Yes, the script returns the rate of bytes received per second for each interface. The default is unselected.

Collect data for network utilization?

For Solaris computers only. Select Yes to collect data for charts and reports. If set to Yes, the script returns the rate of bytes received per second for each interface. The default is unselected.

Enable debugging? (y/n)

Select Yes to enable debugging. The default is unselected.
