Does the management and monitoring process for virtual machines cause any significant performance degradation or bandwidth shortages?

Network monitoring is usually a passive activity. Network monitoring software runs in promiscuous mode and sniffs traffic as it flows across the network. If you run network monitoring software directly on a virtual machine, you will consume resources such as CPU time, memory, and disk throughput, but you will not typically place any significant amount of additional traffic on the network.
