Monitors the write (outbound) traffic of a network card on a server and alerts if the utilization is over the threshold for a specific number of samples.
The write (outbound) traffic on a server’s network card is high.
The following configuration parameters are customizable:
IntervalSeconds - The recurring interval of time in seconds in which to run the script (the default value is set to 300 seconds).
NumberOfSamples - The number of event occurrences before monitor state changes will be triggered (the default value is set to 3).
Threshold - The value that defines the warning threshold to be used in the comparison (the default value is set to 500 Mbps).
A network card may have a high amount of write (outbound) traffic on the server.
Consider the following solutions to reduce the write (outbound) traffic:
Check whether the write traffic is high for longer periods of time.
Check whether the write traffic is high on individual or all network cards.
Check whether the write traffic is related to a specific virtual machine or is a cumulative result of all virtual machines.
Check whether you can redirect some of the write traffic to other network cards on the server.
High write (outbound) network traffic can be a result of a virtual machine activity or the server activity when writing to the shared storage.
