"Agent Unreachable" alert possible?

[Alkemyst71]

We have users with VDIs working from home...they are getting Agent Unreachable errors and we have to reset.  Is there a way to proactively get alerts for this condition?

You would think something this simple could be backed into Horizon, and this has existed since View 5. I've used the below fling in the past

Horizon View Event Notifier | VMware Flings

Wow, not updated since 2014. Does it still work with Horizon 7.x?

Hi Alkemyst71

You can use Horizon event notifier fling tool however this doesn't give a "Proactive alert", the tool simply sends you SMTP alert to your email once the alert has actually occurred. This is just a notification tool (No inbuilt intelligence for proactive alerts) which pulls the information from horizon view event dashboard and sends you email notification.

To get an alert proactively, you have to integrate tools like vRO for horizon/vRA/Skyline with horizon View which has capability to alert you proactively for upcoming potential issues.
