vRealize Network Insight collects network and flow metrics for applications.

To view the application metrics on the user interface, do the following:

  1. Enter applications where name is set on the search bar.
  2. On the search result page, click Add More Filters under the Filters option.
  3. Select Metrics. The application metrics are displayed to the right.
  4. Select the metric you want to view.

The following metrics are available for each application in your vRealize Network Insight environment.

Metric Name Metric API Name Description
App/Tier TCP Retransmitted Packets net.tcpRetransmitedPackets.delta.summation.number Total number of retransmitted packets in all the flows of the application.
Median TCP RTT (ms) net.p50FlowAvgTcpRtt.absolute.average.microsecond Median round-trip time of all TCP flows associated with an application.
Network Packet Count net.packetsTotal.delta.summation.number Total number of packets transmitted and received from an application.
Network Rx Rate (kbps) net.received.rate.average.kiloBitsPerSecond Average rate at which data is received across all endpoints of the application.
Network Tx Rate (kbps) net.transmitted.rate.average.kiloBitsPerSecond Average rate at which data is transmitted from all endpoints in the application.
Rx Flow Drops flow.droppedRx.delta.summation.number Total number of dropped incoming flows to total number of incoming flows.
TCP Retransmitted Packet Ratio (%) net.tcpRetransmitedPackets.ratio.average.percent Percentage of retransmitted packets in all the flows associated with an application.
Total Rx Bytes net.totalRx.delta.summation.bytes Total number of bytes received by the application.
Total Tx Bytes net.totalTx.delta.summation.bytes Total number of bytes transmitted by the application.
Tx Flow Drops flow.droppedTx.delta.summation.number Total number of dropped outgoing flows to total number of outgoing flows.
