This metric is not available on AIX systems using non-native collectors.


2

This metric is not available on HP-UX systems using non-native collectors.


3

This metric is reported by ethtool (or, if unavailable, by mii-tool). This metric is not available for loopback interfaces. It requires use of sudo for the agent to collect. (For more information about sudo commands that require root access, see Configuring secure launcher permissions using sudo.)
