VMW Virtual Machine Memory Allocation Versus Limit

This rule monitors for virtual machines that have a memory limit that is lower than their memory allocation, which could result in poor performance on the virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineMemory

Table 244. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The virtual machine has a memory limit that is higher than its memory allocation.	Normal	None
The virtual machine has a memory limit that is lower than its memory allocation.	Critical	None

VMW Virtual Machine Memory Swapping

This rule monitors for the swapping in and out of virtual machine memory.

VMWVirtualMachineMemory

Table 245. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The virtual machine has not moved any of its memory from its physical pages to the VMware swap file within the ESX Server.	Normal	None
The virtual machine has moved some of its memory from its physical pages to the VMware swap file within the ESX Server. This may adversely affect the virtual machine’s performance.	Critical	None
The virtual machine is actively using memory that it has moved to the VMware swap file. This will adversely affect the virtual machine’s performance.	Fatal	None

VMW Virtual Machine Memory Utilization

This rule monitors for high memory utilization for a virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineMemory

Table 246. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The memory utilization is less than 85 percent.	Normal	None
The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 85 percent and less than 90 percent.	Warning	None
The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 90 percent and less than 93 percent.	Critical	Send email to VMware administrator
The memory utilization is equal to or greater than 93 percent.	Fatal	Send email to VMware administrator

VMW Virtual Machine Network IO

This rule monitors for spikes and dramatic drops in network IO for a virtual machine.

VMWVirtualMachineHostNetwork

Table 247. Rule Definition
Conditions	State	Action
The network usage is no more than 2.2 standard deviations (NumSTDevs) from the mean network usage.	Normal	None
The network usage is more than 2.2 but no more than 2.8 standard deviations from the mean network usage.	Warning	None
The network usage is more than 2.8 standard deviations from the mean network usage.	Critical	None
