VM Network Status (PI_VNI)

Organization of this page

Function

This record stores performance data on a virtual NIC being used by a virtual machine over a unit of time. This record is a multi-instance record.

In this record, you can collect performance data such as the data send/receive speed of the virtual NIC. 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 5‒10: Example of collected data

[Figure]

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

  • Information cannot be collected for a virtual machine that is not running.

  • 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 *

    _

    (

#1

The value used in [±hh:mm] varies depending on the time zone of the monitored host. For example, if the monitored virtual environment is operating according to JST, +09:00 is displayed. If the monitored virtual environment is operating according to UTC, Z is displayed.

#2

For Hyper-V, KVM, Docker environment, or Podman environment this field requires performance data to be collected at least twice.
