IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

IP Statistics attributes

Use IP Statistics attributes to monitor traffic and fragmentation statistics for data using the IP (Internet Protocol) protocol. IP Statistics is a single-instance attribute group.
Note: IBM Tivoli Monitoring v.6.x does not support IPV6.

Datagram Fragmentation Percentage Measure of datagram fragmentation. Calculated as 100 * (Fragments Received/sec ÷ Datagrams Received/sec). Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum.

Datagrams/sec The rate that IP datagrams are received from or sent to the interfaces, including those in error. Any forwarded datagrams are not included. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Forwarded/sec The rate of input datagrams for this entity was not their final IP destination. An attempt was made to find a route to forward the datagrams to their final destination. In entities that do not act as IP gateways, this rate includes only those packets that were Source-Routed via this entity, and the Source-Route option processing was successful. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Outbound Discarded The number of output IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). This counter includes datagrams counted in Datagrams Forwarded, if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Outbound No Route The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination. This counter includes any packets counted in Datagrams Forwarded that meet this 'no route' criterion. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received Address Errors The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity. This count includes addresses that are not valid (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses for classes that are not supported (such as Class E). For entities that are not IP gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received Delivered/sec The rate that input datagrams are successfully delivered to IP user-protocols (including ICMP). Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received Discarded The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). This counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received Header Errors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers, such as bad checksums, version mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, and errors discovered in processing their IP options. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received/sec The rate that IP datagrams are received from the interfaces, including those in error. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Received Unknown Protocol The number of locally-addressed datagrams received successfully, but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Datagrams Sent/sec The rate that IP datagrams are supplied to IP for transmission by the local IP user-protocols (including ICMP). This counter does not include any datagrams counted in Datagrams Forwarded. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragment Re-assembly Failures The number of failures detected by the IP re-assembly algorithm (such as time out, errors, and so on). This is not necessarily a count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably RFC 815) can lose track of the number of fragments by combining them as they are received. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragmentation Failures The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be. This happens due to setting the Don't Fragment flag. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragmented Datagrams/sec The rate that datagrams are successfully fragmented at this entity. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragments Created/sec The rate that datagrams are successfully fragmented at this entity. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragments Re-assembled/sec The rate that IP fragments are successfully re-assembled. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Fragments Received/sec The rate that IP fragments that need to be re-assembled at this entity are received. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

System Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.

Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.

In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
