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

The network quality of connections is monitored using two plug-ins, and there are two key metrics: network latency and packet loss rate.

The following are the two plug-ins:

  • dc-nqa-collector: monitors the connections requested using the Direct Connect console.
  • history-dc-nqa-collector: monitors historical connections.

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