Event ID: edge_health.edge_datapath_nic_throughput_high
Added in release: 3.2
Alarm Description
VMware NSX-T Data Center, VMware NSX
High throughput is caused by high traffic volume. An NSX alarm is raised as a warning when the throughput is exceeding the configured limit.
Steps to Resolve:
For 3.2.x and higher
Examine the traffic throughput levels on the Edge and determine whether configuration changes are needed.
Edge Node Statistics
Get the CPU stats detailing the CPUs dedicated to the datapath
# get dataplane cpu stats
Get the memory statistics dedicated to datapath performance.
# get dataplane memory stats
Get the dataplane flow-cache statistics. Flow-cache
# get dataplane flow-cache stats
Get a complete list of performance statistics including the CPU and Memory stats, as well as counters such as packets per second transferred, received, etc. over the time period set in <interval>.
# get dataplane perfstats <interval>
# get dataplane perfstats 10
To determine the throughput of an Edge for a given short period of time, run this command.
# get dataplane throughput <interval in seconds>
# get dataplane throughput 10 | jso
n <--prints the output of this command in an easy to read json stack
Recommended Action:
Increased throughput support can be provided by
Maintenance window requirement for remediation? Yes
Starting in NSX version 3.2.4, this alarm will only trigger on bare-metal Edge's and will no longer trigger on VM Edge's.
