The UX Networking object provides counters for monitoring the network activity on UNIX systems.
For counters that accept a network interface instance, network interface names are available in the Operator Console. For example, to monitor the percentage of data transmission collisions for ethernet adapter 0 (eth0), type:
UX Networking|%Collision|eth0
To monitor a counter for all network interfaces instead of a particular interface, such as the number of input packets received per second, use the _Total instance and type:
UX Networking|Input Packets|_Total
The following table describes the counters for the UX Networking object.
NOTE:On Solaris computers, the UNIX agent must run as root to collect the UX Networking counters.

Counter Name |
Description |
Platforms |
|---|---|---|
|
%Input Error |
Percentage of packets with input errors. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
%Output Error |
Percentage of packets with network output errors. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
%Collision |
Percentage of network data-transmission collisions detected. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
%Send-Q Busy |
Number of non-empty Send-Q connections divided by the total number of TCP connections. A high value indicates traffic congestion. Setting up subnets can help reduce the congestion. Specify one of the following as the instance:
|
Solaris |
|
Input Packets |
Number of network input packets received per second. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
Input Error |
Number of network input errors per second. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
IP Errors |
Number of network IP errors per second. For AIX, Linux, and Solaris, specify one of the following as the instance:
For HP-UX, specify _Total as the instance. NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
Output Packets |
Number of network output packets sent per second. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
Output Error |
Number of network output errors per second. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
Collision |
Number of network collisions per second. For all platforms, specify one of the following as the instance:
NOTE:This parameter returns incorrect data on computers running the Solaris 11 operating system in a zone that is not a global zone. |
|
|
TCP Connections |
Number of TCP network connections. For Solaris, specify one of the following as the instance:
For Linux, HP-UX and AIX, specify _Total as the instance. |
|
|
Established Connections |
Number of network connections established per second. For Solaris, specify one of the following as the instance:
For Linux, HP-UX and AIX, specify _Total as the instance. |
