Interface Errors

This network monitor report displays a line graph showing the percentage of interface utilization errors for inbound and outbound packet data for a specific device interface, or group of device interfaces, during a selected time period. This report allows you to monitor and troubleshoot interfaces experiencing packet error problems

Note: To ensure that your data collection is uninterrupted in the occurrence of a re-index, click Advanced and change the Determine uniqueness by list option to Interface description.

Below the date/time picker is a graph showing interface utilization for the selected time period. Each point on the graph corresponds with an entry in the graph data table below. ifInErrors (Receive) are graphed as a red line, while ifOutErrors (Transmit) are graphed as a blue line.

When multiple interfaces are present in the selected device, change the selected interface using the Interface menu.

Summary for device reports

Under the main report graph, the report displays a summary of data for the interface collected during the time period:

Receive

Transmit

Note: Values displayed in the graph are the average values for the selected time period. Values displayed in the summary are the minimum, maximum, and average values for the selected time period. If raw polling data has been averaged into hourly or daily summarized data, the values for min and average, or maximum and average can be different. In some cases, they may be very different if there was a period of time when polled values were much higher or lower than normal.

You can verify your report rollup settings on the WhatsUp Gold console via Program Options > Report Data.
