I will add.

It is reasonable. I will try to check other scripts too.

I think perfquery could/should be improved as well, but it is not the
same issue. I think that in general it is more accurate when whole
fabric is checked to query endport's by port and not by node - multiport
CA can have disconnected ports and/or ports which connected to another
subnet - in this way its counters are irrelevant to the check. Right?
