Network Traffic - IGEL Test
This test monitors the incoming and outgoing traffic through each IGEL Endpoint.
Target of the test : An IGEL Endpoint
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every IGEL Endpoint:network interface combination
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The nick name of the IGEL Endpoints component for which this test is to be configured. |
|
Port |
Refers to the port at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is NULL. |
|
Inside View Using |
To obtain the 'inside view' of performance of the IGEL Endpoints - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the IGEL Endpoints - this test uses a light-weight Endpoint Agent software deployed on each of the IGEL Endpoints. The Endpoint Agents collect performance metrics from the IGEL Endpoints and communicate the metrics to the eG remote agent using TCP protocol. Accordingly, by default, this parameter is set to eG VM Agent. |

Measurements made by the test
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Incoming network traffic |
Indicates the rate at which data (including framing characters) is received on a network interface. |
Mbps |
An abnormally high rate of incoming traffic may require additional analysis. |
|
Outgoing network traffic |
Represents the rate at which data (including framing characters) is sent on a network interface. |
Mbps |
An abnormally high rate of outgoing traffic may require additional analysis. |
