Ethernet port errors

The tools collects and presents errors on Ethernet adapters via the OS agent.
So far only AIX operating system is supported, Linux support comes in further releases.

The example from a system without any errors, it is zero how it should be when no errors:

Total: all Eth adapters on a single server (all its LPARs)


Single LPAR

Implementation notes

These errors are captured:

$ entstat -d en0

 ...

  Transmit Statistics:                          Receive Statistics:
 --------------------                          -------------------
 ...
 Transmit Errors: 0                            Receive Errors: 0
 Packets Dropped: 0                            Packets Dropped: 0
                                               Bad Packets: 0
 ...

We do not save each particular error into the database, we count all errors into single number which is saved and presented.
When you see that errors are increasing in the graph, then is up to the administrator to check the operating system and via "entstat -d" cmd figure out which kind of error happens.
