DPDK Counters

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_TYPE_ID (75)

Displays a label that provides information about the locally opened DPDK port include address mappings and queue sizes, e.g.:

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_TRANSPORT_TYPE_ID (76)

Tracks each DPDK transport showing a bind address and the TTL in the label, e.g.:

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_NOBUFS_TYPE_ID (77)

Counts the number of times that the TX thread has tried to acquire a buffer from the TX memory pool, but failed due to the pool having been exhausted. This is incremented withing the Aeron DPDK code when sending a packet fails due to the pool being empty.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_NOBUFS_TYPE_ID (77)

Counts the number of times that the RX thread has tried to acquire a buffer from the RX memory pool, but failed due to the pool having been exhausted. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_TX_EAGAIN_TYPE_ID (78)

Counts the number of packets that weren’t sent due to back-pressure on the device’s DMA packet queue.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_ERROR_TYPE_ID (79)

Counts the number of packets that failed to be transmitted by the underlying network device. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_ERROR_TYPE_ID (79)

Counts the number of packets that received by the interface that were rejected due to being invalid. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_DISCARD_NON_IP_TYPE_ID (80)

Unused.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_DISCARD_NON_UDP_TYPE_ID (81)

Unused.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_PKTS_TYPE_ID (82)

Displays the number of packets sent as reported by the network interface card. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_PKTS_TYPE_ID (82)

Displays the number of packets received as reported by the network interface card. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_BYTES_TYPE_ID (83)

Displays the number of bytes sent as reported by the network interface card. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_BYTES_TYPE_ID (83)

Displays the number of bytes received as reported by the network interface card. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_MISSED_PACKETS_TYPE_ID (84)

Counts the total number of received packets that were dropped due to the RX packet buffers being full. It uses the DPDK ethernet statistics to track this value.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_ARP_MISS_TYPE_ID (85) (up to 1.47.3 release had a type id 84)

If an outgoing packet does not have a mac address for its IP address this counter will be incremented. In most cloud environment a single mac address (the gateway mac address) will be used. This counter will often be 1 shortly after start up.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_SENDER_DISCARD_TYPE_ID (86)

The discard counter goes up anytime a packet is received that is forwarded to the sender thread and for which there exist no transport.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_POLLER_TYPE_ID (87)

Counters the number of times DPDK was polled for data by the sender/receiver.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_QUEUE_DROP_COUNT_TYPE_ID (88)

Some packets received on the RX thread need to be forwarded to the TX thread for processing (e.g. control traffic). There is an internal queue used to forward packets. This counter tracks any packets that were dropped when adding to this forwarding queue.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_CHECKSUM_FAILURE_TYPE_ID (89)

Counts the number of time that a packet is received that has failed its checksum calculation. These packets will be dropped and the next packet processed. This value will be based on the device calculated checksum for non-fragmented packets or be applied manually when IP fragmentation occurs.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_FRAGMENTED_PACKETS_TYPE_ID (90)

Counts the number of packets received that have undergone IP fragmentation and need to be reassembled. This will be a count of the number of fragments received.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_MEMPOOL_AVAILABLE_TYPE_ID (91)

A counter of the number of available entries in the receiver thread’s buffer memory pool.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_MEMPOOL_AVAILABLE_TYPE_ID (91)

A counter of the number of available entries in the sender thread’s send buffer memory pool. The TX thread has a pool for both sent and received messages.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_MEMPOOL_AVAILABLE_ID (91)

A counter of the number of available entries in the sender thread’s receive buffer memory pool. The TX thread has a pool for both sent and received messages.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_EXTENDED_STATS_TYPE_ID (92)

A set of counters that show extended device statistics. These are driver and device specific. Some of these counters overlap (show the same values) as the specific counters outlined above.

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_UNSUPPORTED_ETHERNET_TYPE_TYPE_ID (93)

A counter of the number of packets discarded by the receiver thread when a packet has an unsupported ethernet type other than IPV4 (0x0800) (e.g. VLAN (0x8100), IPV6 (0x86dd)).

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL_TYPE_ID (94)

A counter of the number of packets discarded by the receiver thread when a packet has an unsupported protocol other than UDP (17) (e.g. IGMP (2), TCP (6)).

AERON_COUNTER_DPDK_RX_RECEIVER_DISCARD_TYPE_ID (95)

The discard counter goes up every time a packet is received containing Aeron payload, the receiver does not have transport for it, and it must not be forwarded to the sender thread.
