Description: The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of resources in the previous 24 hour interval. Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped, it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.

What is ethTotalDropEvents?

Counts how many times packets were dropped due to a lack of resources over the entire previous 24-hour period, rolling up what the interval table tracks in 15-minute slices. Admins use this single number as a quick daily health check before drilling into individual intervals if it looks high.
