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

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

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Total number of virtual machine port packets is over threshold.

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

Causes

Increase of network demand serviced by the virtual machine port.

Resolutions

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