Event ID: edge_health.edge_datapath_nic_throughput_very_high
Alarm Description
Note: Prior to VMware NSX 3.2.4 and 4.2.0 this alarm was present for Edge VMs. This resulted in false alarms due to incorrectly determining the capacity of the virtual NIC. On impacted versions, the alarm can be ignored for Edges VMs. This alarm should be actioned for Bare Metal Edges on all releases.
High throughput is causes by high traffic volume. Alarm is raised when the throughput is at a 100%
