Network Quality Metrics (Agent Required)

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

There are two 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 the Direct Connect Metric Collection Plug-ins.

  • Automated connections are requested using the console and can be self-service or full-service connections. Each connection has at least a virtual gateway and a virtual interface, and their routes are automatically advertised.
  • Historical connections are requested by email or phone. They do not have virtual gateways and virtual interfaces, and their routes must be configured manually.
