In this recipe, we'll look at the following network metrics:
network.interface.collisionsnetwork.interface.in.bytesnetwork.interface.in.packetsnetwork.interface.in.errorsnetwork.interface.in.dropsnetwork.interface.out.bytesnetwork.interface.out.packetsnetwork.interface.out.errorsnetwork.interface.out.drops
Now, one last time, we'll look at how we can create a text and graphical representation of data. Perform the following steps:
- Display live data for the preceding metrics; run the following command:
~]# pmdumptext -H -t 1 -i -l network.interface.collisions network.interface.in.bytes network.interface.in.packets network.interface.in.errors network.interface.in.drops network.interface.out.bytes network.interface.out.packets network.interface.out.errors network.interface.out.drops -h guest.example.com
- Create a configuration file for
pmchartto display live data callednetwork.confwith the following contents:#kmchart version 1 chart style plot antialiasing off plot color #ff0000 metric network.interface.collisions instance "eth0" chart style plot antialiasing off plot color #00ff00 metric network.interface.in.bytes instance "eth0" plot color #ff0000 metric network.interface.out.bytes instance "eth0" chart style plot antialiasing off plot color #00ff00 metric network.interface.in.packets instance "eth0" plot color #ff0000 metric network.interface.out.packets instance "eth0" chart style plot antialiasing off plot color #00ff00 metric network.interface.in.errors instance "eth0" plot color #ff0000 metric network.interface.out.errors instance "eth0" chart style plot antialiasing off plot color #00ff00 metric network.interface.in.drops instance "eth0" plot color #ff0000 metric network.interface.out.drops instance "eth0"
- Next, use
pmchartto plot a live chart forguest.example.comvia this command line:~]# pmchart -h guest.example.com -c network.conf
