Network Metrics
The Machine Agent is configured to ignore virtual networks by default. See Machine Agent Settings for Server Visibility.

| KPI |
| Avg Utilization (%) |
The average network utilization as a percentage of the maximum possible throughput. This metric is not reported if the agent cannot determine the throughput (not supported for some devices and Linux versions). The percentage is rounded to the nearest integer. Therefore, very low utilization may be reported as 0%. Reported for:

2The ServerMonitoring and JavaHardwareMonitor extensions calculate unidirectional throughput (packet/KB) metrics differently. ServerMonitoring reports the total number of packets/bytes in the last minute. JavaHardwareMonitor reports the total number of packets/bytes from the time the Machine Agent started.
