How to delay triggered actions in VC alarms

Hi All,

In my environment I have 6 VC's. We have configured VC alarms on all of them.

When a alarms triggers it sends a SNMP trap to the SNMP Server. With the help of the VMware MIB's SNMP server converts the SNMP trap to meaningful information. Then this information is forwarded to SOI and a ticket is created for my Team.

Concern is -- if there is a network disconnection for 4 to 5 seconds that we get Host / Datastore / VM disconnection alerts. We have around 100+ virtual DC's. If this happens on 4 to 5 sites a day then we get a lot of tickets.

As per network team the network disconnection threshold cannot be changed.

Is there a way that I can increase the time for the actions that are triggered by VC alarms. I want to increase the time for the SNMP traps that are sent from VC to the SNMP Server.

I do not have PSO Support to log a case with VMware

Any assistance will be much appreciated. Please let me know if you require any other info.

Thanks

Hi,

Go with the link below , But would recommend to first test on Non-Production environment. 

VMware KB: SNMP Trap is repeated every 5 minutes

NOTE : You would be putting your environment at RISK as in very critical scenario you would not get the real time alert due to delay in sending the message

Umesh, Thank you for the reply and for sharing the link

The setting mentioned on the link will change the settings for all the Alarms configured on the VC. Can we delay SNMP trap for a specific alarm instead of all the alarms.

Thanks
