How to check Windows NIC for errors?

[IBMerSteve]

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

I would like to monitor Windows NICs errors. Checking the parameters for check_network it appears that the only thing available to check NIC speed or bytes per second. Can I check for errors? These counters appear in the Window performance counters as "Packets received errors" and "Packets outbound errors"

check_network

Expected Behavior

I would like to monitor for errors that might indicate hardware or network issues.

Actual Behavior

I seem to be able to monitor only the traffic speed.
