  • 1.  Steps to change vSphere Alarm 'CPU' alert email address

    Posted Mar 02, 2022 12:47 AM

    What are the steps to change the email address that the vSphere 6.7 Alarm 'CPU' alert sends email notifications to?

    This is a screenshot from the vSphere event viewer which shows that the Alarm 'CPU' has sent an email to the email address that I am looking to change.

    Now I"m trying to figure out where exactly within the vSphere alerts section I need to navigate to so I can change this notification alert email address.

    Here's a full screenshot of where this event is displayed within vSphere event viewer:

    Within vSphere I have already navigated to configure -> alarm definitions and have looked through all of the alerts I have found that contain the word CPU but when I click to edit these alarm definitions I don't see the existing email address that I am looking to change or any other area where I can enter the email address that I want to set for this alert.

    Where else do I need to navigate to or what other processes can I use to change the email address associated with this alert notification? I would prefer to find the exact location where this notification is already set and simply change the email address instead of creating a new alert. I don't want the old alert which is sending to the wrong email address to remain active I simply want to edit the email address used for this alert.

    Thread reported so moderators know it should be moved to the area for vSphere, since this has nothing to do with NSX.
