Hi guys,
We have a new vsphere vcenter and this alarm keeps going off. When we looked at the events, we can't find anything that triggered it.
The setting at the moment is
triggers :
event = status change
staus = alert
Actions :
SNMP trap once when yellow to red
email repeat when yellow to red and once when red to yellow
Any idea why this is happening? I have to manually reset alarm to green to stop it from alerting
thanks!!
have you checked vCenter Service Status from the home page to see if there is anything needing attention?
Yep i did. all services are fine. I checked all hosts too and they seem fine...I read from this post here that when the virtual center does sync (e.g. storage view update), it creates status change?
I'm wondering how can you configure the alarms so that it won't just alert on anything?
Are we supposed to put anything in the "advanced" conditions
thanks
Our alarm is configured with the default settings. The only time I have seen this alarm get triggered is if I reboot the vCenter Server. Once it comes back online that alarm gets triggered. I wish I had a better answer, but for myself, I'm still trying to get my head around all the alarms in vCenter4
This may be somewhat useful
