Interface Health service

The Interface Health service monitors the health of NIC interfaces using SNMP. This service collects inbound discards, inbound errors, outbound discards, outbound errors and outbound queue length from the generic RFC1213-MIB.

3. Click View > All Devices and click the Name of a device.
4. Click Settings > Properties and ensure Use SNMP is selected.
5. Click Save if required.
6. Click Monitoring > Status and click Add.
7. Enter 1 for the number of instances of the Interface Health service that you would like to associate to the device.
