I’m a little new to vROPs, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to configure alert notification settings so that we receive alerts (either email or web hook - doesn’t matter), for important events relating to Horizon infrastructure and our instant clone desktop pools.
I’m not really bothered about the VMs themselves, i.e. events like high VM utilisation, but I absolutely want to hear about stuff like:
- Any failure of any horizon component (Connection servers, vCenter, Access Gateways, ESXi hosts, Network, Storage etc).
- Horizon specific alerts like Instant Clone Provisioning failures, Pool availability etc
Right now, for each Horizon Pod, I have configured 2 alerts:
- Scope = Object, View Adapter + Children
- Notification Trigger = Impact, All Selected
- Criticality = Critical, Immediate, Warning
- Scope = Applications = View Pod Instance
- Notification Trigger = Alert Type, All Selected
- Criticality = Critical, Immediate, Warning
I think I get lost a little when defining the ‘scope’ of a notification setting - There are loads of combinations and object types. Ideally, I just want a single notification configured which covers all important Horizon related events - particularly events which are likely to be service affecting.
Anyone care to share what they have configured?
Thanks
