vCenter Database Health Alarm

While going thorough the vCenter configuration advance setting parameters, I have found below parameters related to the vCenter Database that gets triggered when an event occur. My question here is, what parameters does vCenter 6.5 support for the database health alarm to be triggered

vpxd.vdb.space.errorPercent

config.vpxd.vdb.space.checkIntervalSec

vpxd.vdb.space.warningPercent

config.vpxd.vdb.space.warningMB value

config.vpxd.vdb.space.alertMB value

Thanks

Default triggers are listed here,

vpxd.vdb.space.warningPercentSets the percentage at which a warning is triggered. Changing this setting does not require you to restart vCenter Server.80%
vpxd.vdb.space.errorPercentSets the percentage at which an error is triggered, and an action takes place. Changing this setting does not require you to restart vCenter Server.95%
config.vpxd.vdb.space.skipInitialCheckTurns off the startup checking for free spacefalse
config.vpxd.vdb.space.checkIntervalSecDefines the interval at which vCenter Server checks a database for available space.15 minutes

What about the below parameters? Does that no longer supported? I am unable to access the KB link.

config.vpxd.vdb.space.warningMB value

config.vpxd.vdb.space.alertMB value

Those 2 values  config.vpxd.vdb.space.warningMB & config.vpxd.vdb.space.alertMB I would imagine are used to  override the default % values

I remember in 5.5 there was an issue with an update where those values were populated, looks like its now % based by default

Below two parameters are what manually added as config is prefixed before any parameter that is manually added to vCenter advance settings.

config.vpxd.vdb.space.warningMB value

config.vpxd.vdb.space.alertMB value

Could you please make it more clear that which parameter is forcing the alarm to trigger.

Much appreciated
