How Do I Monitor the Network Quality of a Direct Connect Connection?

Direct Connect plug-ins detect end-to-end network quality of connections and monitor two metrics of remote subnets: network latency and packet loss rate.

There are two types of plug-ins:

  • dc-nqa-collector: monitors the connections created on the Direct Connect console.
  • history-dc-nqa-collector: monitors historical connections.

For details, see Installing Direct Connect Metric Collection Plug-ins.
