## Name

### Prometheus Metric Name

```
tt_ethernet_rxq_packet_drop_count
```

### Metric Path (tt-telemetry)

Schema:

```
{hostname}/tray{tray}/chip{chip}/channel{channel}/queue{queue}/tt_ethernet_rxq_packet_drop_count
```

Example path:

```
bh-glx-c09u02/tray1/chip2/channel0/queue0/tt_ethernet_rxq_packet_drop_count
```

## Description

The cumulative number of dropped packets on a specific Ethernet receive (RX) queue. A drop occurs when an incoming packet cannot be accepted, for example because the queue is full. Each Ethernet channel exposes multiple RX queues, distinguished by the `queue` label.

This metric is only available on Blackhole devices. It is read as a single 64-bit value from `boot_results.eth_live_status.rxq<queue>_pkt_drop`.

## Values

**Type:** Unsigned Integer

**Units:** None

**Allowable values:**
A non-negative 64-bit integer representing the cumulative count of dropped packets on the queue.
