      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi, we recently set up alarms for Metric Network Usage. It sometimes shows (like shown below) usage far over 100 percent. How can this be? Is this not telling me how much of the network is being used? It is an ESX 3.01 system.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I suspect it might be because we have 4 nics teamed together for the VMware host and it does not know how to handle that. Is this a reasonable explanation?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Target: esx2.xxxxx.xxx &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Old Status: Green &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;New Status: Red &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Current value: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Basic Alert - (State = Connected OR Metric Network Usage (Average/Rate) = 529%) &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alarm: Basic Alert &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(&lt;A href="Yellow State Is Equal To disconnected; Red State Is Equal To notResponding"&gt;&lt;/A&gt; OR &lt;A href="Yellow Metric Is Above 80%; Red Metric Is Above 90%"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;) &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Description: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alarm Basic Alert on esx2.xxxxx.xxx changed from Green to Red&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; What version of VC do you have? I'm pretty sure that in earlier versions the % value being shown for the alarm is incorrect is actually measured as KBps by VC (this is fixed in VC2.5U2/U3) so the way the alerts are set means that although it looks like 80% usage it's actually triggered when you go past 80 KBps of usage, for example. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;DB &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
