ICMP errors on OpenVZ containers

Post by justinp »

Hello, was wondering if anyone else has seen these warnings when monitoring OpenVZ containers. We often get ICMP warnings on the OpenVZ vps's we monitor such as "PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 16%, RTA = 0.30 ms " etc. Has anyone else seen these and have an idea what might be causing them?

Looks like there is a bit of packet loss occurring. We don't use OpenVZ in-house, so we don't have any direct experience with this.

A google search found several possible solutions, including this one:
