SSPHighRateRejectedVms

Meaning

This alert fires when a user or script attempts to create or modify a large number of virtual machines (VMs), using an invalid configuration.

Impact

The VMs are not created or modified. As a result, the environment might not behave as expected.

Diagnosis

  1. Export the NAMESPACE environment variable:

    $ export NAMESPACE="$(kubectl get deployment -A | grep ssp-operator | awk '{print $1}')"
    
  2. Check the virt-template-validator logs for errors that might indicate the cause:

    $ kubectl -n $NAMESPACE logs --tail=-1 -l name=virt-template-validator
    

    Example output:

    {"component":"kubevirt-template-validator","level":"info","msg":"evalution 
    summary for ubuntu-3166wmdbbfkroku0:\nminimal-required-memory applied: FAIL, 
    value 1073741824 is lower than minimum [2147483648]\n\nsucceeded=false",
    "pos":"admission.go:25","timestamp":"2021-09-28T17:59:10.934470Z"}
