Push PCAP

Push PCAP takes the capture systems stored data and splits into PCAP files and pushes them to some other location. The following stats are avalible in both JSON Syslog and Promethues

push_pcap_status

• for every PCAP file generated

This is the top level full status of an individual PCAP file.

push_pcap_local_bps

• for every PCAP file generated

This is the data rate for a specific PCAP write this to the local storage device.

push_pcap_local_bps = total bytes * 8 / total time

push_pcap_local_byte

• for every PCAP file generated

This is the total bytes for a PCAP write to the local storage device.

push_pcap_local_status

• for every PCAP file generated

Indicates the status of the specific PCAP file. Table below shows the meaning

push_pcap_local_time

• for every PCAP file generated

The number of seconds it took to create the local file.

NOTE: this is an integer value

push_pcap_localremote_size_missmatch

• for every PCAP file generated

Indicates the status of local vs remote PCAP file comparision

push_pcap_remote_bps

• for every PCAP file generated

This is the data rate for a specific PCAP write this to the remote storage device.

push_pcap_remote_bps = total bytes * 8 / total time

push_pcap_remote_byte

• for every PCAP file generated

This is the total bytes for a PCAP written to the remote storage device.

push_pcap_remote_status

• for every PCAP file generated

Indicates the status of the specific PCAP file. Table below shows the meaning

push_pcap_remote_time

• for every PCAP file generated

The number of seconds it took to create and copy the PCAP from the local storage location to the remote storage location.

NOTE: this is an integer value

Disk Monitoring

FMADIO provides detailed disk monitoring logs, enabling monitoring teams to stay head of potential disk hardware related issues before

DiskPresent (disk_valid)

Indicates a disk is present at the specified label. E.g. it is responding to SMART requests and present in the Linux disk tree.

DiskSMART (disk_error)

This is the number of SMART disk errors since power on of the device

DiskError

This is the total number of SMART disk errors for each drive for the lifetime of the drive

DiskCritical

Indicates the number of SMART critical warnings metrics, it is extracted per below

DiskErrorLog

Monitors the number of Error log entries each SSD for the lifetime of the disk.

DiskMediaError

Monitors the number of Media errors each drive has for the lifetime of the disk

Capture Metrics

FMADIO Provides detailed capture metrics exported to monitoring software

CaptureByte (fmadio_capture_byte)

Reports the total number of bytes captured since the counter was manually reset

Expected value

• Continuously monotonic increase (sans manual reset)

CapturePkt (fmadio_capture_pkt)

Reports the total number of packets captured since the counter was manually reset

Expected value

• Continuously monotonic increase (sans manual reset)

CaptureDrop(fmadio_capture_drop)

Reports the total number of packets dropped since the counter was manually reset

Expected Value

• zero

CaptureFCSError (fmadio_capture_fcs_error)

Reports the total number of FCS errors received on the Capture interfaces (before prefilter) since the counter was manually reset

Expected Value

• zero
