I have a dilemma that I am hoping to monitor within vSphere alarms:
I have a VM that is running an application that seem to loose connectivity every Monday morning. My questions is what kind and how would I monitor this if I wanted to place an alarm?
The VM is a Server 2008 machine running SQL 2008.
Hence, when users loose connectivity, this does not mean the VM has froze or there is no network traffic over the NIC. It seems to be an issue just within SQL.
Ideally, it would be great if I can trigger the VM to restart when it encounters this condition. However, at this time I would like to first attempt to determine why I am experiencing the issue.
