Network adapter port metric group
OSA and RoCE network adapters have up to two physical ports that connect to the network. Metrics are collected from these ports on a DPM enabled system and provided to the user. This metrics group will contain metrics data representing metrics for one physical port. Metrics are collected and provided on an interval, and each metric provided is the total cumulative value, and not a delta.
- Metric Group Name
- "network-physical-adapter-port"
- Collection Interval
- 30 seconds
- Applicable Managed Object Class
- "adapter"
The following metrics are provided in each entry of this metric group:
Pos | Metric field name | Type | Units | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | network-port-id | Integer | Numerical value corresponding to the network adapter's physical port. For OSA
adapters, this value can be either 0 or 1, and for RoCE adapters, this value can be 1 or 2. To get
more information about the physical port, a URI can be constructed using this value together with
the target
adapter-id:
|
|
2 | bytes-sent | Long | Bytes | Number of bytes this physical port sent out to the attached network. |
3 | bytes-received | Long | Bytes | Number of unicast packets this physical port received from the attached network. |
4 | packets-sent | Long | Count | Number of unicast packets this physical port sent out to the attached network. |
5 | packets-received | Long | Count | Number of unicast packets this physical port received from the attached network. |
6 | packets-sent-dropped | Long | Count | Number of packets that were dropped when this physical port was sending them
out to the attached network. Packets may be dropped due to conditions related to resource constraints such as a buffer shortage. |
7 | packets-received-dropped | Long | Count | Number of packets that were dropped when this physical port was receiving them
from the attached network. Packets may be dropped due to conditions related to resource constraints such as a buffer shortage. |
8 | packets-sent-discarded | Long | Count | Number of packets that were discarded when this physical port was sending them
out to the attached network. Packets may be discarded due to errors such as malformed packets. |
9 | packets-received-discarded | Long | Count | Number of packets that were discarded when this physical port was receiving
them from the attached network. Packets may be discarded due to errors such as malformed packets. |
10 | multicast-packets-sent | Long | Count | Number of multicast packets this physical port sent out to the attached network. |
11 | multicast-packets-received | Long | Count | Number of multicast packets this physical port received from the attached network. |
12 | broadcast-packets-sent | Long | Count | Number of broadcast packets this physical port sent out to the attached network. |
13 | broadcast-packets-received | Long | Count | Number of broadcast packets this physical port received from the attached network. |
14 | interval-bytes-sent | Long | Bytes | Number of bytes sent by this physical port over the collection interval. |
15 | interval-bytes-received | Long | Bytes | Number of bytes received by this physical port over the collection interval. |
16 | bytes-per-second-sent | Long | Bytes per second | Number of bytes sent per second by this physical port over the collection interval. |
17 | bytes-per-second-received | Long | Bytes per Second | Number of bytes per second received by this physical port over the collection interval. |
18 | utilization | Long | Percentage | Link utilization expressed as usage percentage of overall link bandwidth. |
19 | mac-address | String | The MAC address of this uplink, if known. If it is not known, then "N/A". | |
20 | flags | Long | Flags indicating the types of metrics that are supported by this interface.
The value of this field should be interpreted as a bitmask. The meaning of each bit is as
