Table 255. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The number of available ports on a standard virtual switch is greater than the value set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchAvailablePorts.warning registry variable. The global default value of this variable is 20, meaning that in a default installation each of the monitored standard virtual switches has more than 20 available ports.	Normal	None
The number of available ports on a standard virtual switch reached the value set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchAvailablePorts.warning registry variable. The global default value of this variable is 20, meaning that in a default installation a Warning alarm is generated if a standard virtual switch has 20 or fewer available ports.	Warning	None
The number of available ports on a standard virtual switch reached the value set by the VMW:DistributedVirtualSwitchAvailablePorts.critical registry variable. The global default value of this variable is 10, meaning that in a default installation a Critical alarm is generated if a standard virtual switch has 10 or fewer available ports.	Critical	None
The number of available ports on a standard virtual switch reached the value set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchAvailablePorts.fatal registry variable. The global default value of this variable is 5, meaning that in a default installation a Fatal alarm is generated if a standard virtual switch has 5 or fewer available ports.	Fatal	None

Table 256. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The levels of packet loss on all monitored distributed virtual switches matches the percentage set by the VVMW:StandardVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.warning variable. The global default value of this variable is 0, meaning that in a default installation the packet loss on each of the monitored distributed virtual switches is 0%.	Normal	None
The level of packet loss of a distributed virtual switch is higher than the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.warning variable. The global default value of this variable is 0 meaning that in a default installation a Warning alarm is generated if the packet loss on a distributed virtual switch is higher than 0%	Warning	None
The level of packet loss of a distributed virtual switch reached the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.critical variable. The global default value of this variable is 85, meaning that in a default installation a Critical alarm is generated if the packet loss of a distributed virtual switch is higher than 10%.	Critical	None
The level of packet loss of a distributed virtual switch reached the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.fatal variable. The global default value of this variable is 95, meaning that in a default installation a Fatal alarm is generated if the packet loss of a distributed virtual switch is higher than 20%.	Fatal	None

Table 257. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The levels of network utilization on all monitored standard virtual switches is below the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchNetwork.warning variable. The global default value of this variable is 75, meaning that in a default installation the network utilization of each of the monitored standard virtual switches is 75% or lower.	Normal	None
The level of network utilization of a standard virtual switch reached the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchNetwork.warning variable. The global default value of this variable is 75, meaning that in a default installation a Warning alarm is generated if the network utilization of a standard virtual switch is higher than 75%.	Warning	None
The level of network utilization of a standard virtual switch reached the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchNetwork.critical variable. The global default value of this variable is 85, meaning that in a default installation a Critical alarm is generated if the network utilization of a standard virtual switch is higher than 85%.	Critical	None
The level of network utilization of a standard virtual switch reached the percentage set by the VMW:StandardVirtualSwitchNetwork.fatal variable. The global default value of this variable is 95, meaning that in a default installation a Fatal alarm is generated if the network utilization of a standard virtual switch is higher than 95%.	Fatal	None

Table 258. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
All monitored virtual switches have valid credentials.	Normal	None
The credentials for a virtual switch are invalid which prevents data collections for the configurations associated with that switch.	Fatal	None
