In addition, each group of counters may have different counter types. These counter groups are based on which component in a networking setup, illustrated below, that they describe:: ---------------------------------------- | | ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- | | Hypervisor | | VM | | | | | | | | ------------------- --------------- | | ------------------- --------------- | | | | Ethernet driver | | RDMA driver | | | | Ethernet driver | | RDMA driver | | | | ------------------- --------------- | | ------------------- --------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------------- | | ------------------- | | | | | | | |-- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- | | ------------- ----------------------------- | | ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ -----| PF |----------------------| VF |-| VF |-| VF |----- --| PF |--- --| PF |--- --| PF |--- | ------ ------ ------ ------ | | ------ | | ------ | | ------ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eSwitch | | eSwitch | | eSwitch | | eSwitch | ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | Uplink (no counters) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | MPFS (no counters) | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Port Groups ====== Ring Software counters populated by the driver stack. Netdev An aggregation of software ring counters. vPort counters Traffic counters and drops due to steering or no buffers. May indicate issues with NIC. These counters include Ethernet traffic counters (including Raw Ethernet) and RDMA/RoCE traffic counters. Physical port counters Counters that collect statistics about the PFs and VFs. May indicate issues with NIC, link, or network. This measuring point holds information on standardized counters like IEEE 802.3, RFC2863, RFC 2819, RFC 3635 and additional counters like flow control, FEC and more. Physical port counters are not exposed to virtual machines. Priority Port Counters A set of the physical port counters, per priority per port. Types ===== Counters are divided into three types. Traffic Informative Counters Counters which count traffic. These counters can be used for load estimation or for general debug. Traffic Acceleration Counters Counters which count traffic that was accelerated by Mellanox driver or by hardware. The counters are an additional layer to the informative counter set, and the same traffic is counted in both informative and acceleration counters. .. [#accel] Traffic acceleration counter. Error Counters Increment of these counters might indicate a problem. Each of these counters has an explanation and correction action. Statistic can be fetched via the `ip link` or `ethtool` commands. `ethtool` provides more detailed information.:: ip –s link show <if-name> ethtool -S <if-name> Descriptions ============ XSK, PTP, and QoS counters that are similar to counters defined previously will not be separately listed. For example, `ptp_tx[i]_packets` will not be explicitly documented since `tx[i]_packets` describes the behavior of both counters, except `ptp_tx[i]_packets` is only counted when precision time protocol is used. Ring / Netdev Counter ---------------------------- The following counters are available per ring or software port. These counters provide information on the amount of traffic that was accelerated by the NIC. The counters are counting the accelerated traffic in addition to the standard counters which counts it (i.e. accelerated traffic is counted twice). The counter names in the table below refers to both ring and port counters. The notation for ring counters includes the [i] index without the braces. The notation for port counters doesn't include the [i]. A counter name `rx[i]_packets` will be printed as `rx0_packets` for ring 0 and `rx_packets` for the software port. .. flat-table:: Ring / Software Port Counter Table :widths: 2 3 1 * - Counter - Description - Type * - `rx[i]_packets` - The number of packets received on ring i. - Informative * - `rx[i]_bytes` - The number of bytes received on ring i. - Informative * - `tx[i]_packets` - The number of packets transmitted on ring i. - Informative * - `tx[i]_bytes` - The number of bytes transmitted on ring i. - Informative * - `tx[i]_recover` - The number of times the SQ was recovered. - Error * - `tx[i]_cqes` - Number of CQEs events on SQ issued on ring i. - Informative * - `tx[i]_cqe_err` - The number of error CQEs encountered on the SQ for ring i. - Error * - `tx[i]_tso_packets` - The number of TSO packets transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `tx[i]_tso_bytes` - The number of TSO bytes transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `tx[i]_tso_inner_packets` - The number of TSO packets which are indicated to be carry internal encapsulation transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `tx[i]_tso_inner_bytes` - The number of TSO bytes which are indicated to be carry internal encapsulation transmitted on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_gro_packets` - Number of received packets processed using hardware-accelerated GRO. The number of hardware GRO offloaded packets received on ring i. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_gro_bytes` - Number of received bytes processed using hardware-accelerated GRO. The number of hardware GRO offloaded bytes received on ring i. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_gro_skbs` - The number of receive SKBs constructed while performing hardware-accelerated GRO. - Informative * - `rx[i]_gro_match_packets` - Number of received packets processed using hardware-accelerated GRO that met the flow table match criteria. - Informative * - `rx[i]_gro_large_hds` - Number of receive packets using hardware-accelerated GRO that have large headers that require additional memory to be allocated. - Informative * - `rx[i]_lro_packets` - The number of LRO packets received on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_lro_bytes` - The number of LRO bytes received on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_ecn_mark` - The number of received packets where the ECN mark was turned on. - Informative * - `rx_oversize_pkts_buffer` - The number of dropped received packets due to length which arrived to RQ and exceed software buffer size allocated by the device for incoming traffic. It might imply that the device MTU is larger than the software buffers size. - Error * - `rx_oversize_pkts_sw_drop` - Number of received packets dropped in software because the CQE data is larger than the MTU size. - Error * - `rx[i]_csum_unnecessary` - Packets received with a `CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_csum_unnecessary_inner` - Packets received with inner encapsulation with a `CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_csum_none` - Packets received with a `CHECKSUM_NONE` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_csum_complete` - Packets received with a `CHECKSUM_COMPLETE` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `rx[i]_csum_complete_tail` - Number of received packets that had checksum calculation computed, potentially needed padding, and were able to do so with `CHECKSUM_PARTIAL`. - Informative * - `rx[i]_csum_complete_tail_slow` - Number of received packets that need padding larger than eight bytes for the checksum. - Informative * - `tx[i]_csum_partial` - Packets transmitted with a `CHECKSUM_PARTIAL` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `tx[i]_csum_partial_inner` - Packets transmitted with inner encapsulation with a `CHECKSUM_PARTIAL` on ring i [#accel]_. - Acceleration * - `tx[i]_csum_none` - Packets transmitted with no hardware checksum acceleration on ring i. - Informative * - `tx[i]_stopped` / `tx_queue_stopped` [#ring_global]_ - Events where SQ was full on ring i.

If this counter is increased, check the amount of buffers allocated for transmission. - Error * - `tx[i]_nop` - The number of nop WQEs (empty WQEs) inserted to the SQ (related to ring i) due to the reach of the end of the cyclic buffer. When reaching near to the end of cyclic buffer the driver may add those empty WQEs to avoid handling a state the a WQE start in the end of the queue and ends in the beginning of the queue.
