Why TA-netqual exists
"The network is fine" needs receipts. TA-netqual deltas the hardware counters, link-speed renegotiations and TCP retransmission data that explain latency and throughput complaints.
What it collects
- Per-interface error, CRC and drop deltas
- Link-speed change events
- TCP retransmits and bufferbloat signals
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
