Expose rx/tx queue length instead of throwing it away #269

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The rx/tx queue length is currently thrown away, but it might be helpful to 
return it for certain types of applications.

The next item after status is 'tx_queue:rx_queue'.

Point is that's not portable across platforms.
Out of curiosity, in what circumstances that can be useful?

There's already precedent for non-portable things in get_cpu_times(), which 
returns iowait for linux but not for anything else.

My use case for it is to monitor a web application to make sure it's able to 
keep up with incoming requests, keeping the rx queue to a minimal.

I think this is reasonable.
