Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
This scope has no labels.
Metrics:
| Metric | Description | Dimensions | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| wireless.status | Internal status reported by interface. | status | status |
| wireless.link_quality | Overall quality of the link. This is an aggregate value, and depends on the driver and hardware. | link_quality | value |
| wireless.signal_level | The signal level is the wireless signal power level received by the wireless client. The closer the value is to 0, the stronger the signal. | signal_level | dBm |
| wireless.noise_level | The noise level indicates the amount of background noise in your environment. The closer the value to 0, the greater the noise level. | noise_level | dBm |
| wireless.discarded_packets | Packet discarded in the wireless adapter due to wireless specific problems. | nwid, crypt, frag, retry, misc | packets/s |
| wireless.missed_beacons | Number of missed beacons. | missed_beacons | frames/s |
