Network Subsystem
Plugin: windows.plugin Module: PerflibNetwork
Overview
Monitor network interface metrics about bandwidth, state, errors and more.
It queries 'Network Interface' and 'Network Adapter' objects from Perflib in order to gather the metrics.
This collector is only supported on the following platforms:
- windows
This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
Default Behavior
Auto-Detection
The collector automatically detects all of the metrics, no further configuration is required.
Limits
The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
Performance Impact
The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
Metrics
Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
Per System
These metrics refer to the entire System.
This scope has no labels.
