[Request] Troubleshooting packet loss in Ubuntu

$

Greetings. I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server that I use as my network monitoring server. The interface stats in ifconfig show a pretty consistent 7% dropped RX packets. The server doesn't do much beside pinging remote sites and tracking latency. I tried adding more RAM and an additional CPU incase the server was overloaded but that didn't help. It is a Virtual Machine and I have tried with and without VM tools and both the e1000 and vmxnet3 NICs. I have also moved it to a different physical host but that didn't help either. Because the server itself is dropping the packets it is being reflected in all the graphs for my remote routers that I am monitoring. I was hoping someone with more experience in this area could offer some suggestions as to what I might try next.
