Measures reported by RHEVNetworkTest

This test auto-discovers the network interfaces supported by the RHEV server and reports the current status and speed of every discovered interface, and the errors encountered by each. This way, the test sheds light on the slow, error-prone, and congested (in terms of level of network traffic) network interfaces on the hypervisor.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the status of this network interface in the RHEV hypervisor.   If the network interface is up and running, then the value of this measure will be Up. On the other hand, if the network interface is currently non-operational, then this measure will report the value Down.

The numeric values that correspond to the measure values mentioned above are as follows:

Numeric Value Measure Value
1 Up
0 Down

Note:

By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed in the table above. The graph of this measure however will represent network interface status using the numeric equivalents - '0' or '1'.
Speed Indicates the current speed of this network interface in the RHEV hypervisor. Mbps Compare the value of this measure across interfaces to determine the slowest interface.
Data_trans Indicates the rate at which data is transmitted over this network interface of the RHEV hypervisor. Mbps A high rate of incoming and outgoing data could indicate that the network interface is experiencing high levels of network traffic.
Data_rec Indicates the rate at which data is received over this network interface of the RHEV hypervisor. Mbps
Trans_err Indicates the number of errors that occurred while data was transmitted over this network interface of the RHEV hypervisor. Number Ideally, the value of both these measures should be 0. Comparing the value of each of these measures across interfaces will introduce you to the error-prone interfaces.
Rec_err Indicates the number of errors that occurred while data was received over this network interface of the RHEV hypervisor. Number
