Monitoring network performance

In this recipe, we'll look at the following network metrics:

  • network.interface.collisions
  • network.interface.in.bytes
  • network.interface.in.packets
  • network.interface.in.errors
  • network.interface.in.drops
  • network.interface.out.bytes
  • network.interface.out.packets
  • network.interface.out.errors
  • network.interface.out.drops

How to do it…

Now, one last time, we'll look at how we can create a text and graphical representation of data. Perform the following steps:

  1. Display live data for the preceding metrics; run the following command:
    ~]# pmdumptext -H -t 1 -i -l network.interface.collisions network.interface.in.bytes network.interface.in.packets network.interface.in.errors network.interface.in.drops network.interface.out.bytes network.interface.out.packets ...
