Get statistic on my LAN and HBA card

[Sebastien Masson]

Hi,

Someone know an ascii, not interactive tool (not Glance or LanAdmin) to grab statistic on LAN card and HBA. Something like:

How much packet I/O
How much Error I/O
How much Collision I/O

I want to know if my I/O card are busy or not.

Hi,

Try 'netstat' command. Check man pages for more information. This will list your network statistics

Hi,

again, try 'sar' for I/O activities.

# sar -u 1 10
# sar -d 1 10
# sar -A 1 10

HTH,

Hello Sebastien,
You also can use lanadmin command and SNMP commands for remote monitoring.

Someone have the SNMP mib to collect information ?!
