In vFoglight, is there a way to alert on individual network interface if an ESX host has multiple NICS?
The Out of the Box rules does not alert on the Network Interfaces from the VMware Agent. The default rules for VMware, do not alert on downed NICs. We only alert on ESX host disconnected. This means if one NIC dies but another is still up; the host is not disconnected and an alert will not be generated.
You could use a legacy agent called Net Monitor, in which you can monitor on IP address.
Additionally there is Foglight for NMS which could help accomplish this monitoring requirement.
