Greetings all. vROps 6.7 Advanced here and we're attempting to enable Automated Actions with no success.
We are attempting to implement an Alert / Automated Action that automatically deletes vm snapshots after 7 days.
Below have been the steps so-far...
So now all I should have to do is go to the Policy and enable Automate Action for the alert definition from #5 above. But alas, when opening the Policy, hitting 'Alert / Symptom Definitions' and selecting my Alert Definitions, the list shows as 'Not Applicable' under the Automate column and it will not let me enable Automated Actions for this alert.
Anyone know what I may be missing here?
Thanks
Found my own answer.
Page 133-- Deleting snapshots is not listed as one of the actions available for automation.
That's really disappointing! :smileyconfused:

you could have vrops send an email to vro when the event triggers and vro could run a workflow to delete the snapshots. There are some blogs that explain it better than i could.
So I found the blog you mentioned here: https://www.virtualiseme.net.au/index.php/learning-vro-part-5-and-vrops-trigger-flows-from-vrops-usi...
However in my investigation, I also discovered that VMare released a vROps 6.6/6.7 compatible management pack for vRO that seems to be capable of mapping alerts to vRO workflows so I think I'm gonna give that a shot first.
I know I am replying to an old thread but just in case anyone is interested an wants an unsupported / unofficial way to enable automation for snapshot deletion in vROPS I have written a little how to ... https://vman.ch/vrops-enabling-automation-for-delete-snapshot-action/
