This article describes how to monitor the Incoming(RX) and Outgoing(TX) Packets Per Second(PPS) on FortiGate Interfaces.
FortiGate.
On FortiGate, the command 'diagnose netlink interface packet-rate' is used to monitor the incoming (RX) and outgoing (TX) packets per second (PPS) across all interfaces.
This aids in diagnosing and troubleshooting network performance issues, such as high traffic volumes or unusual packet transmission rates. It is also useful for detecting bottlenecks or packet drops.
The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
