VMW Distributed Virtual Switch Packet Loss

This rule checks the levels of packet loss on VMware distributed virtual switches.

VMWDistributedVirtualSwitch

Table 254. Rule Definition

The levels of packet loss on all monitored distributed virtual switches matches the percentage set by the VMW:DistributedVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.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:DistributedVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.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:DistributedVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.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:DistributedVirtualSwitchPacketLoss.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

VMW Standard Virtual Switch Available Ports

This rule checks for available ports on VMware standard virtual switches.

VMWHostVirtualSwitch

Table 255. Rule Definition

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

VMW Standard Virtual Switch Network Packet Loss

This rule checks the levels of packet loss on VMware standard virtual switches.

VMWHostVirtualSwitch

Table 256. Rule Definition

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

VMW Standard Virtual Switch Network Utilization

This rule checks the levels of network utilization on VMware standard virtual switches.

VMWHostVirtualSwitch

Table 257. Rule Definition

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
