Network¶
The Network feature provides a unified view of network traffic, connection status, and upstream/downstream topology across hosts, Pods, Deployments, and Services. It also supports network device monitoring and hop-by-hop network path analysis.
Prerequisites¶
Before using the Network feature, make sure you have completed the following steps:
- Register and log in to TrueWatch;
- Install DataKit on the host;
- Enable the eBPF Collector.
Concepts¶
| Parameter | Description | Aggregation Method |
|---|---|---|
| IP/Port | Aggregates targets by IP + port; returns up to 100 entries | Grouped and aggregated by IP/Port |
| Bytes Sent | Bytes sent from the source host to the target | Sum of bytes sent across all records |
| Bytes Received | Bytes received by the source host from the target | Sum of bytes received across all records |
| TCP Latency | TCP latency from the source host to the target | Average |
| TCP Jitter | TCP latency jitter from the source host to the target | Average |
| TCP Connections | Number of TCP connections from the source host to the target | Sum |
| TCP Retransmissions | Number of TCP retransmissions from the source host to the target | Sum |
| TCP Closures | Number of TCP closures from the source host to the target | Sum |
Start Analysis¶
The Network module includes the following:
View network performance summary and connections between clients and servers through trend charts and aggregated lists.
- List: View network connection and application protocol data, with multiple visualization options;
- Topology: View upstream and downstream network relationships by host, Pod, Deployment, and Service.
View running status, interfaces, and performance metrics of network devices such as routers and switches.
View hop-by-hop network paths and probe quality from the client to the server.
