The VMware Overhead alarm is activated when Virtualization Overhead is greater than a threshold and CPU Usage is 95% or higher. This alarm indicates that the virtual machine is not receiving all of the CPU time that it is entitled to. This is caused by other virtual machines or by VMware itself consuming the available CPU.
When this alarm is active, see your VMware administrator for ways to address this issue.
