Send eMail alert from CIM sensors (IPMI)

[EnriquePinana]

Hello community,

I have some problems to configurate mail alert by CIM sonsors.... for example, I can't configurate "Alarm Definition" for report problem with power supplies.

I was disconected an a redundant power supplier, and, I can see the "alert" in hardware status tab:

In "Alarm Definition" I can see one "standard definition" for hardware changes, but not was trigger....

Please, any idea why not working for me?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Enrique

Are there any alerts which are working or is it only this specific alert which is failing?

Thanks,

MS

Hello msripada,

Other alarms it's working, for example for network alarms or storage alarms, but for this case (power supply) not working...

I can see the status of all power supply in hardware tab, but I can't do any alarm for notify this fail. I think that exist an default alarm for this (an alarm calls "hardware change") but not working.

I'll apreciate all helps for this issue.

P.D. I use the last version of vCenter and ESXi (6.5)

Thanks!

Hi there

This is related to hardware alarms.

In 6.5, alarms are not working as expected but alerts are being shown,

I believe this will be fixed soon in upcoming releases.

As far as I know, future releases of 6.5 will have fix for the problem you are facing

This is known issue :

Hardware Status miscategorizes voltage, Storage, Processor entries, missing Hardware health  Alarm

Meanwhile, You can check Host UI for hardware sensor status for better response.
