Do you mean the "enabled" alarms or the alarms that were fired (triggered)?

[Sankavaraj]

when i run the script, i should be able fetch the current alarm in the VC

That doesn't really answer my question, all enabled alarms or all triggered alarms?

[Sankavaraj]

I am looking for what are the Alarm recently generated and which is not turn to healthy. not sure that comes under triggered or enabled alarm.

Please assist me here

Thanks

Ok, it seems you mean the triggered alarms.

One way of doing that is like this

$si = Get-View ServiceInstance

$alarmMgr = Get-View -Id $si.Content.AlarmManager

Get-Inventory | %{

    $alarmMgr.GetAlarmState($_.ExtensionData.MoRef) |

    where{[VMware.Vim.ManagedEntityStatus]::yellow,[VMware.Vim.ManagedEntityStatus]::red -contains $_.OverallStatus} |

    Select @{N='Alarm';E={(Get-View -Id $_.Alarm).Info.Name}},

        OverallStatus,

        Time,

        @{N='Entity';E={(Get-View -Id $_.Entity).Name}}

}

Hi,
If I just want to get alarm of vcenter in last 24 hours. Do you have any idea ?
Thanks

Then you would need to use Get-VIEvent and look at all  AlarmStatusChangedEvent events.
Hence my original question if the requestor wanted to see the triggered alarms
