Hi, I am looking for way to force "Uplink lost" alert on a host if any of the uplinks fails.
For example there is a server with 4 physical ports assigned as uplinks to particular VDS and I'd like to be informed that any od those uplinks connection went down.

try it with vob-alarms - that worked for me:

You should get that automatically with a "network redundancy lost" alert inside vCenter. This alarm is active by default.
This works if I'd have only one uplink left.
If I have four uplinks assigned to switch and four of them are assigned as active/passive to portgroup, then alert is not triggered if one or two uplinks failed.

IIRC there is also a "reduced network redundancy" alarm which is what your looking for. It means when Link 1 out of 4 for example is still missing.

I mean the "Network uplink redundancy degraded" alarm. I also got E-Mail from the the Host it self (iDRAC) as well as from E-Mail enabled LogInsight(Syslog) event related to the "state" changes on the phys. switch port.

I tried:
vob.net.vmnic.linkstate.down
vob.net.vmnic.linkstate.up
esx.problem.net.dvport.redundancy.degraded
esx.clear.net.dvport.redundancy.restored
esx.problem.net.dvport.redundancy.degraded
esx.clear.net.dvport.redundancy.restored
And the last pair did the trick.
Alert is immediately triggered and if link is reconnected, alert is cleared.
Thanks for help.
iDRAC does send SNMP trap, but i do not have LogInsight installed.
Managed to setup alert with VOBs
Thank for help.
