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

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

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Number of virtual machine outgoing packets is over threshold.

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

Causes

Increase of network demand sent from the virtual machine.

Resolutions

Evaluate virtual machine configuration to ensure that it is allowing the crucial packets; if necessary, implement additional security appliances, or evaluate a redistribution of demand to reduce outgoing traffic from virtual machine.
