Network Interface Summary (PI_NINS)
Function
The Network Interface Summary (PI_NINS) record stores the performance data in which the data stored in the Network Interface Detail (PI_NIND) record is summarized per unit time.
The available network interfaces include a loopback adapter, a local Token Ring adapter, and an Ethernet adapter; multiple network interfaces can be installed on a single machine. Each interface can have multiple IP addresses. Every time performance data is collected, a record is created for each network interface, but only the first IP address that is found is used. Even when the Network Interface Detail (PI_NIND) record is not collected, performance data is stored in the Network Interface Summary (PI_NINS) record.
