Change VMware anomaly detection

[yair_mashmor]

Hello all,

Im trying to change the VMware anomaly detection in settings.

For instance, when trying to change the dropped packets, i can only tweak the number itself but no option to change a percentage of dropped packets in regards to overall traffic.

When checking the metrics in data explorer i could only find the dropped packets of the GUEST machine on the ESX and not the NIC of the ESX itself, as shown in the vm page.

Is there a way to play with the metrics of the ESX NIC's dropped packets? can we make an alert based on percent ?

Thank you!

The rules for alerting with ESXi hosts and such is limited. If what's built out of the box isn't working for you, I recommend building a metric event. This will give you full power to build and alert the way you want it to. If you can build it in the Data Explorer, you can alert on it. And, even more so now, you can easily convert it to a Davis Anomaly Detector
