NetworkPort metrics
Counting the number of messages sent and received per second is straightforward. The SentMessages and ReceivedMessages components perform as intuitively expected.
The system monitors sent and received messages (or bytes) in the same way that it monitors tokens.
- Sent message count
- Received message count
- Time
- Per seconds
A large disparity in the number of messages sent and received can be an indicator of a larger issue. In the above example, the station is broadcasting three I-Am messages per second. This is why the received messages value is much lower and is likely to be just readProperty responses to idle device ping messages.
