Remove guest alert from vC OPS

[vinny95]

Hi,

My vcops-vsphere alert dashboard is fullfilled by alerts like "Guest filesystem out of space".

Guest OS alerts are for sysadmin, who are using another monitoring tools, so I would like to get rid of those alerts in vC OPS.

Is this a way to disable them or just creating a custom dashboard could solve this issue ?

thanks,

vinny

There is no simple way to get rid of only this alerting condition for a VM (guest disk space).

But if those alerts are of type "time remaining" or "faults", you can disable them for VMs from the configuration menu

[vinny95]

these alerts are of Health / Faults type,

but disabling fault alerts on VM - i guess you were talking of disabling "Generate alerts on individual faults" - what kind of other alerts on VM will I miss ?

e.g will I miss ram / cpu load alerts ?

In fact, I just want ot get rid of guest os alert, but an overloaded VM do concern the sysadmin & the vm admin.

at the VM level the only other faults are FT and HA related:

Fault type	Problem event(s)	Remediation event(s)	Device specific
High Availability (HA)	vSphere HA virtual machine failover unsuccessful	VM powered on	No
	Not enough resources for vSphere HA to start VM	VM powered on	No
	vSphere HA failed to restart a network isolated virtual machine	VM powered on	No
Fault Tolerance (FT)	VM Fault Tolerance state changed (if the new state is one of : need secondary, disabled)	VM Fault Tolerance state changed (if the new state is one of : enabled, running, starting or not configured)	No

unfortunately one can't miss H/A faults...I think I have to keep vm alert activated..

thks anyway for all the information

Hi gradinka,

Couple of questions:

For which VCOps version the  information that you have provided is correct - all/VCOps 5.0+/ VCops 5.6 / 5.7 ?

Is it official information (part of admin guides, etc) or internal one?

Can we assume that this will be true for the next releases?

Thanks,

Alex D.

Alexander,

that's valid for 5.6. I'm not sure whether it's part of user-facing documents - it's internal info I have.

As to next releases, I won't count on it

thanks!
