Network interface

The Network Interface pane is shown in Figure 56.

Figure 56 Network interface

This pane contains the following information:

• Name—Indicate the network card identities of the Solaris system. The network cards that can be

monitored by APM include physical network cards and virtual network cards (logical network

card).

• Receive Rate—Indicate the packet receiving rate of the monitored network card when APM polls

the host that the Solaris resides for the last time.

 Threshold setting—Click the threshold setting icon to set the threshold of packet

receiving rate for the monitored network card. The packet receiving rate is highlighted in

yellow if the conditions of Level-1 threshold are met, and is highlighted in red if the conditions

of Level-2 threshold are met. You can set a user-defined threshold or a global threshold to

control alarms of the packet receiving rate.

 History Record—Click the History Record icon to view the packet receiving rate trend

of the monitored network card in a past time period, which includes the last 1 hour, last 6

hours, today, yesterday, this week, this month, and this year. If you select the time period Last

1 hour, Last 6 hours, or Today, the packet receiving rate is measured in unit of a polling

interval; if you select the time period Yesterday, This week, or This month, the packet

receiving rate is measured in hours, and the diagram displays the packet receiving rate

trends, and the maximum, minimize, and average values of the packet receiving rate index; if

you select the time period This year, the packet receiving rate is measured in days, and the

diagram displays the packet receiving rate trend, and the maximum, minimize, and average

values of the packet receiving rate index. Move the pointer over the each sampling point to

view the packet receiving rate for the time being.

• Send Rate—Indicate the packet sending rate of the monitored network card when APM polls the

host that the Solaris resides for the last time.

• Input Packet Loss—Indicate the number of lost packets that should be received by the

monitored network card per second when APM polls the host that the Solaris resides for the last

time.

• Output Packet Loss—Indicate the number of lost packets that should be sent by the monitored

network card per second when APM polls the host that the Solaris resides for the last time.

Process

Generally, there is no process displays in the process pane. To monitor the process, click the process

select icon to view the processes running on Solaris, select the processes to be monitored, and

then click OK. APM collects the index data for the monitored processes during the next host polling,

which includes the CPU usage ratio and memory usage ratio. The monitored processes and the

corresponding index data displays in the Process pane, as shown in Figure 57.
