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

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Virtual machine incoming traffic is over threshold.

The number of incoming Kbits per second 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 virtual machine configuration to ensure that it is allowing only crucial packets. If required, implement additional security appliances, or evaluate a redistribution of demand to reduce incoming traffic to virtual machine.
