Understand the alert
This alert is triggered when a virtual machine's memory usage in a vSphere environment is significantly higher than normal, indicating potential performance issues or insufficient memory allocation.
Troubleshoot the alert
Check memory usage: Monitor the virtual machine's memory usage to identify potential bottlenecks or high memory consumption by applications.
Inspect applications: Review applications running on the virtual machine to identify those consuming excessive memory, and determine if it's expected behavior or a memory leak.
Adjust memory allocation: If the virtual machine consistently has high memory usage, consider increasing the allocated memory to improve performance.
Optimize applications: Identify opportunities to optimize applications running on the virtual machine to reduce memory consumption.
Monitor performance: Keep an eye on the virtual machine's performance metrics to ensure that changes in memory usage or allocation do not negatively impact performance.
