Hello,
We are evaluating vcops 5.6.0 and I have a question.
We have some problems with our storage and it stops responding for a few seconds generating All Paths Down event on ESXi hosts.
I would like to be notified when any of the ESXi hosts logs this event. Preferable via e-mail.
Is that possible to setup on vcops? How do I do it?
Can't find any information about this topic.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes you can. The event will be seen by vC Ops and it collects this specific event from vCenter
It will be logges as a Fault, thus you need to have Health | Faults Selected and Critical Level. Then select at the bottom Host for the onject type.
That should do it.
Hi and thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately vCops does not see this as an fault, error, warning or anomaly. Not what I can see anyway. Possibly because the ESXi host just logs a warning. It can reconnect to storage a few seconds later. No disruptions usually occurs during All Path Down (APD), but we get latency spike.
Please see attached pic for more info. These are the events I would like to configure an e-mail alert on.
Thanks

Might be cause vCenter have cleared the error already. vC Ops only collects every 5min.
Maybe in vCenter setup and alert to send you a mail.
