VMW Virtual Machine Memory Swapping

This rule monitors for the swapping in and out of virtual machine memory.

VMWVirtualMachineMemory

Table 245. Rule Definition

The virtual machine has not moved any of its memory from its physical pages to the VMware swap file within the ESX Server.

Normal

None

The virtual machine has moved some of its memory from its physical pages to the VMware swap file within the ESX Server. This may adversely affect the virtual machine’s performance.

Critical

None

The virtual machine is actively using memory that it has moved to the VMware swap file. This will adversely affect the virtual machine’s performance.

Fatal

None

VMW Virtual Machine Memory Utilization

This rule monitors for high memory utilization for a virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineMemory

Table 246. Rule Definition

The memory utilization is less than 85 percent.

Normal

None

The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 85 percent and less than 90 percent.

Warning

None

The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 90 percent and less than 93 percent.

Critical

Send email to VMware administrator

The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 93 percent.

Fatal

Send email to VMware administrator

VMW Virtual Machine Network IO

This rule monitors for spikes and dramatic drops in network IO for a virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineHostNetwork

Table 247. Rule Definition

The network usage is no more than 2.2 standard deviations (NumSTDevs) from the mean network usage.

Normal

None

The network usage is more than 2.2 but no more than 2.8 standard deviations from the mean network usage.

Warning

None

The network usage is more than 2.8 standard deviations from the mean network usage.

Critical

None

VMW Virtual Machine Percent Ready

This rule fires an alarm to report that when a virtual machine is requesting CPU cycles from the ESX Server on which it is running, it is not receiving them some percentage of the time. This will impact performance on the virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineHostCPUs

Table 248. Rule Definition

When the virtual machine requests CPU cycles, it is only not receiving them 2 percent or less of the time.

Normal

None

When the virtual machine requests CPU cycles, it is not receiving them greater than 2 percent but no greater than 8 percent of the time.

Warning

None

When the virtual machine requests CPU cycles, it is not receiving them greater than 8 percent but no greater than 12 percent of the time.

Critical

None

When the virtual machine requests CPU cycles, it is not receiving them greater than 12 percent of the time.

Fatal

None
