Interface traffic (deprecated)

Use this Splunk Observability Cloud integration for the interface monitor. See benefits, install, configuration, and metrics

Note: This integration is deprecated in favor of the net-io integration, which provides the same metrics. net-io uses the interface dimension to identify the network card instead of the plugin_instance dimension. To learn more, see Network interface I/O.
