Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Pkt_rate_in Represents the rate of incoming traffic. Pkts/Sec An increase in traffic to the guest operating system can indicate an increase in accesses to the VM (from users or from other applications) or that the VM is under an attack of some form.
Pkt_rate_out Represents the rate of outgoing traffic. Pkts/Sec An increase in traffic from the VM can indicate an increase in accesses to the VM (from users or from other applications).
