RVTools Heartbeat column meaning

Hello,

Yesterday I pulled a RVtools report from our customers vsphere. I noticed that on the first tab, vInfo column Heartbeat there is showing different colors alert for every vm, many of them showing red, but also yellow, gray and green, Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks, i have seen that, but "the entity definively has a problem" does not say a lot to me. what is exactly the meaning of that? and on the other alerts?

Hi

yes, i checked it, but for the red one, it doesnt make sense because i checked a vm that has the the red alarm tag and is working fine, it even has vmware tools installed.
