Monitor packet drops in VMs

yashatrevm — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 08:01:24 GMT

Hi Everyone,
I am facing a piculier problem. I have 3 clusters in my vCenter Server, each having at least two or more ESXi servers. I have a total of 145 VMs in it. However, only VMs in one of these clusters are dropping Tx and Rx packets (info from vROPS). I want to write a powercli script that I can execute on a need basis to get information on how many packets were dropped by which VMs in a given time period.

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me with this script as I am not a core network person, and am not aware of powercli capabilities with respect to VM network.

Thank you.

You can use the Get-Stat cmdlet to retrieve metrics.

Did you do a search in this community?
There are many examples of such scripts in here, see for example Solved: Re: How to get statistics of all VMs that is dropp... - VMware Technology Network VMTN
