Server passive network interface service check

Post by awilson »

Hi. Is there a passive service check that can monitor a server's network interface from inside the server? I am looking to correlate packet loss with failed active service checks from timeouts.

Thanks!

If you're using NCPA, you can craft a passive check on the interface/Ethernet/errout API end point. Would that help?

Thank you. We can close this. It's a good reason to experiment with ncpa. //smile
