Why are ESXC/vCentre alerts so ambiguous? Suggestions to find and analyse alerts.

It's so painful as a non-uber VMware admin, to login and see an ambiguous alert such as "vSphere Health detected new issues in your environment" to then have to manually pick your way through 40,000 events to see what actually caused the alert. The filter option is rubbish, you have to manually punch in what you want to filter even though there are only a handful of event "Types", and it appears to only filter the 100 events on the page it's displaying.

Does everyone use 3rd party tools to analyse this stuff or am I missing something here? Surely there's a better way...

 

Any suggestion for products or methods would be much appreciated.
