Measures reported by EthernetStatsTest

If a user complaints that he/she is unable to connect to the server over the network, administrators will want to know whether any Ethernet link to the server is down presently. This can be determined using the EthernetStatsTest test.

This test reports the state of every Ethernet link and notifies administrators if a link goes down.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
link_status Indicates the current status of this link.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are listed in the table below:

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values in the table above to indicate link status. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.

The detailed diagnosis of this test reveals the speed and duplex state of a link.
