F5 Big IP: Virtual machine incoming packets Health Monitor

Jalasoft.Xian.SmartManagementPacks.F5BigIp.VMIncomingPackets.2.1 (AggregateMonitor)

This monitor catches Xian events that notifies when the Virtual machine incoming packets if has changed its state.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Number of virtual machine incoming packets is over threshold.

The number of incoming packets to the virtual machine is above the maximum threshold configured in Xian Network Manager 2012.

Causes

Increase of network demand bound to the virtual machine.

Resolutions

Evaluate configuration of the virtual machine to ensure that it is allowing the crucial packets. If required, implement additional security appliances, or evaluate a redistribution of demand to reduce incoming traffic to virtual machine.

Additional

Monitors the virtual machine's incoming packets.
