Hello,
I have an intermittent, wide-spread issue that has been difficult to dig into. We have VMs that occasionally become unavailable to our monitoring solution. They drop network connection or exhibit high RTA. Our monitoring solution is physical and we aren't seeing any network issues with it throughout the physical network infrastructure all the way up to the ESX hosts. I would like some insight into the virtual switching infrastructure to debug this. I would be looking for retransmits or drops at that layer. In parallel, I am checking into our storage infrastructure to see if I can correlate high IOPS with these drops but I am curious what you guys think.
