Level: Warning

Purpose: This alert tells us when network interfaces may be receiving too much data

Scenario: Unusual network throughput in <server> for 5m.

Resolution: You could run a TCP dump on the interface to view the traffic and if everything seems normal then our threshold may need updating. If things don't look normal then you would need to investigate the traffic and where its coming from.

Manual Action Steps: Assuming everything was normal then the thresholds can be edited in the prometheus.rules file in the prometheus-monitoring-config project. Otherwise another investigation would need to be carried out on the unusual traffic.

You could use tcpdump -i eth0 to see whats going on at the eth0 interface

Auto Clear: This will clear once the threshold is no longer breached
