Monitor LIF Performance

AvinashRao — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:23:37 GMT

Hello

Is there a tool, be it OCI or OPM or anything else, that allows LIF monitoring? Customer is interested in monitoring the performance at the LIF level.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

statistics show-periodic -object lif -instance node_name:lif_name

example:

statistics show-periodic -object lif -instance node-5:lif_nfs4

you can also filter it to counters:

statistics show-periodic -object lif -instance node-5:lif_nfs4 -counter instance_name|recv_data|sent_data

here are the 'lif' counters:

Counter Description
--------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
instance_name Name of the logical interface (LIF) instance
instance_uuid UUID for the logical interface (LIF) instance
node_name System node name
node_uuid System node id

recv_data Number of bytes received per second
recv_errors Number of received Errors per second
recv_packet Number of packets received per second
sent_data Number of bytes sent per second
