Trap Alert - Network Uplink Redundancy Lost

Is there a way to find this alert via PowerCLI?  I am getting this alert often and need to set up an e-mail alert when this happens but I don't see it in Get-VIEvent but it is in the console under Alarms.

To get the host name you can do it like this:

Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -MaxSamples 99999 | `
Where-Object {$_.GetType().Name -eq "EventEx" -and $_.EventTypeID -eq "vprob.net.redundancy.lost"} | `
Select-Object -Property EventTypeId,Severity,CreatedTime,@{N="VMHost";E={$_.Host.Name}}

To add an action have a look at my post called Alarms – Adding an action

This alarm is triggered by an EventEx event.

These are triggered by an extension.

To find these you can do

Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -MaxSamples 99999 | ` 
where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "EventEx" -and $_.EventTypeID -eq "vprob.net.redundancy.lost"}

It seems "vprob.net.redundancy.lost"  changed to "esx.problem.net.redundancy.lost" on newer esxi / vcenter
