Note:By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the overall state of an NIC. However, in the graph of this measure, states will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure provides the complete details of an NIC such as its ID, Vendor, vNIC, PCIE Address, MAC, Original MAC, Purpose, Name, and Type. |

| Data_received |
Indicates the amount of data received by this NIC during the last measurement period. |
MB |
These measures are good indicators of the load handled by an NIC. By comparing the value of each measure across NICs, you can quickly identify which NIC is experiencing heavy data traffic and when - while receiving data? or while transmitting data? |
| Data_transmitted |
Indicates the amount of data transmitted by this NIC during the last measurement period. |
MB |
| Packets_received |
Indicates the number of packets received by this NIC during the last measurement period. |

| Packets_transmitted |

| Dropped_pkts_received |
Indicates the number of dropped packets received by this NIC during the last measurement period. |

|
| Dropped_pkts_transmitted |

Packets |
|
| Errors_received |
Indicates the errors encountered by this NIC while receiving data during the last measurement period. |
Errors |
Ideally, the value of both these measures should be 0. A non-zero value indicates that one/more errors have occurred on an NIC. If these measure values increase with time, you may want to compare the value of each of these measures across NICs to quickly zero-in on the error-prone NICs and understand when the maximum number of errors occurred on those NICs - while transmitting data? or while receiving it? |
| Errors_transmitted |
Indicates the errors encountered by this NIC while transmitting data during the last measurement period. |
