Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
What is the metric used (in percent) that causes the error counters to go from black to red?

If you go to the Settings Page -> Network Performance Monitor Thresholds, under here you will see the value for Error and Warning for Interface Errors and Discards

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
Shouldn't these be a percentage of the actual data being processed over the interface instead of a an absolute numerical value? Carrier's use a percent value in their SLA. I can't tell if they are within SLA parameters if I can't set the value to match the provider.
Since NPM already collects the packets/bytes processed and the errors encountered, can percentage be added as an option for the error levels? A count of 1,000 errors in a 1,000,000 packets is much different than 1,000 errors in 1,000 packets, but both show up as the same today.
Do I need to submit this as a new feature request?

What, if anything, has been done on this? I am now looking at a similar issue.

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
We are approaching the one year anniversary of this request. Are we even on the list for inclusion in a future release?

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
We are going on over 3 years since this simple request was made. What is the status? Our need has not gone away.

We haven't released the feature yet and unfortunately can't commit to timelines for future features.
I hadn't seen this before so I'm glad you brought it up again. I think it is obvious that this value should be percent based not a static number. We are tracking this as FB379498 and I've just adjusted the priority.
Offhand, do you know if the packet count for an interface includes errored and discarded packets?

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
Thanks for getting this going. All of our SLAs are based on a percentage
count of errors. Having the percent count lets us know at a glance if SLA
is being met.
I don't know what exactly is included in the packet counts and if it
includes the errors /discards.

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
Another year has past and over $250,000 has been spent in support fees. We still don't have this simple feature implemented. How much longer will we have to wait?

Are we getting close to having this counter option included in a future release?
Thanks,

I'm afraid I can't give specifics. We do have some mockups though. Would you be interested in taking a look at them and providing feedback?

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
Yes, I would.
Thanks,

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
It's been 18 months and I'm still waiting to see the mock ups. It's been 5 years since the feature request. I've seen tons of useless features put out in the interim.

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
I've been waiting over 2 years to see these mark-ups. Still waiting for a simple reporting change...... In fact, over 6 years.

Re: Percentage of Errors to Turn Interface Counters Red
We have also been waiting years for this. I can see it has been talked about for some time and I did notice the percent error stat appear in perfstack. Looking at the last post in this idea link it looks like there is something in SQWL. Now to get it into an alert...
