Host Network Status (PI_HNI)

Function

This record stores performance data on a physical server's physical NIC over a unit of time. This record is a multi-instance record.

In this record, you can collect performance data such as data send/receive speed. The data send/receive speed can be divided into data receive speed and data send speed. The figure below shows an example of data that can be collected in this record.

Figure 5‒4: Example of collected data

Note:

• Information cannot be collected if an attempt to connect to the monitored physical server fails.

• For Hyper-V, specific symbols included in a network identifier are converted to other symbols when the network identifier is stored in the Net ID field. The conversion rules are as follows:

  Before conversion	After conversion
  / and \	-
  # and *	_
  (	[
  )	]
