# salt.beacons.network_info

Beacon to monitor statistics from ethernet adapters

Added in version 2015.5.0.

salt.beacons.network_info.beacon(config)

  Emit the network statistics of this host.

  Specify thresholds for each network stat and only emit a beacon if any of them are exceeded.

  Emit beacon when any values are equal to configured values.

      beacons:
        network_info:
          - interfaces:
              eth0:
                type: equal
                bytes_sent: 100000
                bytes_recv: 100000
                packets_sent: 100000
                packets_recv: 100000
                errin: 100
                errout: 100
                dropin: 100
                dropout: 100

  Emit beacon when any values are greater than configured values.

      beacons:
        network_info:
          - interfaces:
              eth0:
                type: greater
                bytes_sent: 100000
                bytes_recv: 100000
                packets_sent: 100000
                packets_recv: 100000
                errin: 100
                errout: 100
                dropin: 100
                dropout: 100
