NETBIOS Protocols (NT_NETBIOS)
Monitors communications over the NetBIOS transport between the NetBIOS interface and various applications. (NetBIOS is the native networking protocol in DOS and Windows networks.) To monitor network protocols, you must have the SNMP service installed.
Note
The NETBIOS Protocols monitor type in BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management is referred as the NT_NETBIOS application class in BMC PATROL.

Monitor types in the TrueSight console and Central Monitoring Administration are known as application classes in the PATROL consoles.
Attributes in Central Monitoring Administration are known as parameters in the PATROL consoles.

Attributes (parameters)
The following attributes are available for this monitor type:
Name | Description | Unit | Default Performance Key Indicator (KPI) |
---|---|---|---|
Bytes total per sec (BIObioBytesTotalPerSec) | Displays the rate of bytes sent to or received from the network, but only counts the bytes in frames, or packets, that carry data. Recommendations The packet size is BIObioBytesTotalPerSec. If the packet size drops, collisions are probably occurring and network efficiency is decreasing. The collisions may be caused by such things as a large number of users in a poorly configured network, or by a defective network card (NIC) that is sending excessive messages. Consider running a diagnostic test on your NIC to check for configuration or hardware errors. Most NIC manufacturers provide a diskette that contains testing software. Thresholds for alarms and warnings No default thresholds have been set for this parameter. The Baselining Overview topic may help you determine appropriate settings for your system. | 1/sec | No |
Connections canceled (BIObioConnectionsCanceled) | Displays the number of connections that were canceled. | Canceled | No |
Connection session timeouts (BIObioConnectionSessTimeouts) | Displays the number of connections that were dropped due to a session timeout. | Timeouts | No |
Connections no retries (BIObioConnectionsNoRetries) | Displays the total number of connections that were successfully made on the first try. | Retries | No |
Connections open (BIObioConnectionsOpen) | Displays the number of connections currently open for this protocol. | Open | No |
Connections with retries (BIObioConnectionsWithRetries) | Displays the number of connections that were made after retrying the attempt. A retry occurs when the first connection attempt failed. | Retries | No |
Datagram bytes per sec (BIObioDatagBytesPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer processes datagram bytes. This value is the sum of datagram bytes that are sent and received. | 1/sec | No |
Datagram bytes received per sec (BIObioDatagBytesRcvdPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer receives datagram bytes. | Datagrams | No |
Datagram bytes sent per sec (BIObioDatagBytesSentPerSec) | Displays the rate that datagram bytes are sent from the computer. | Datagrams | No |
Datagrams per sec (BIObioDatagsPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer processes datagrams. This value is the sum of datagrams that are sent and received. | 1/sec | No |
Datagrams received per sec (BIObioDatagsRcvdPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer receives datagrams. | Datagrams | No |
Datagrams sent per sec (BIObioDatagsSentPerSec) | Displays the rate that datagrams are sent from the computer. | Datagrams | No |
Disconnects local (BIObioDisconnectsLocal) | Displays the number of session disconnections that were initiated by the local computer. | Disconnects | No |
Disconnects remote (BIObioDisconnectsRemote) | Displays the number of session disconnections that were initiated by the remote computer. | Disconnects | No |
Expirations ack (BIObioExpirationsAck) | Displays the count of T2 timer expirations. | Ack | No |
Expirations response (BIObioExpirationsResponse) | Displays the count of T1 timer expirations. | Response | No |
Failures adapter (BIObioFailuresAdapter) | Displays the number of connections that were dropped due to an adapter failure. | Failures | No |
Failures link (BIObioFailuresLink) | Displays the number of connections that were dropped due to a link failure. | Failures | No |
Failures no listen (BIObioFailuresNoListen) | Displays the number of connections that were rejected because the remote computer was not listening for connection requests. | Failures | No |
Failures not found (BIObioFailuresNotFound) | Displays the number of connection attempts that failed because the remote computer could not be found. | Failures | No |
Failures resource local (BIObioFailuresResourceLocal) | Displays the number of connections that failed because of resource problems or shortages on the local computer. | Failures | No |
Failures resource remote (BIObioFailuresResourceRemote) | Displays the number of connections that failed because of resource problems or shortages on the remote computer. | Failures | No |
Frame Bytes Per Sec (BIObioFrameBytesPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer processes data bytes. | Bytes | No |
Frame bytes received per sec (BIObioFrameBytesRcvdPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer receives data bytes. | Bytes | No |
Frame bytes rejected per sec (BIObioFrameBytesRejPerSec) | Displays the number of data bytes per second that are rejected. This number only counts the bytes in data frames (packets) that carry data. | Bytes | No |
Frame bytes resent per sec (BIObioFrameBytesResentPerSec) | Displays the rate that data bytes are re-sent by the computer. This value only counts the bytes in frames that carry data. | Bytes | No |
Frame bytes sent per sec (BIObioFrameBytesSentPerSec) | Displays the rate at which data bytes are sent by the computer. | Bytes | No |
Frames per sec (BIObioFramesPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer processes data frames. This value is the sum of data frames that are sent and received. | Frames | No |
Frames received per sec (BIObioFramesRcvdPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer receives data frames. | Frames | No |
Frames rejected per sec (BIObioFramesRejPerSec) | Displays the rate that data frames are rejected. | Frames | No |
Frames resent per sec (BIObioFramesResentPerSec) | Displays the number of data frames (packets)per second that are re-sent by the computer. This number only counts the frames or packets that carry data. | Frames | No |
Frames sent per sec (BIObioFramesSentPerSec) | Displays the rate that data frames are sent by the computer. | Frames | No |
Packets per sec (BIObioPktsPerSec) | Displays the rate that Redirector is processing data packets. One packet usually includes many bytes. Hopefully each packet has protocol overhead. You can determine the efficiency of this path by dividing the Bytes/sec by this counter to determine the average number of bytes transferred/packet. You can also divide this counter by Operations/sec to determine the average number of packets per operation, another measure of efficiency. RecommendationsThe packet size is BIObioBytesTotalPerSec. If the packet size drops, collisions are probably occurring and network efficiency is decreasing. The collisions may be caused by such things as a large number of users in a poorly configured network, or by a defective network card (NIC) that is sending excessive messages. Consider running a diagnostic test on your NIC to check for configuration or hardware errors. Most NIC manufacturers provide a diskette that contains testing software. Thresholds for alarms and warningsNo default thresholds have been set for this parameter. | Packets | No |
Packets received per sec (BIObioPktsRcvdPerSec) | Displays the rate at which the computer receives packets. This value is the sum of data and control packets. | Packets | No |
Packets sent per sec (BIObioPktsSentPerSec) | Displays the rate that packets are sent by the computer. This value is the sum of data and control packets. | Packets | No |
