Enable all alerts globally?

[jjondle]

Hello,
Is there any way to enable all created alerts? I have a disk space alert that fires correctly, but then if I reboot my HQ server it is no longer listed in "Recent Alerts". Also, I am about to do widespread server upgrades that will require some down time and I'll probably just disable most of the alerts.

Is there any way to just say "I want every alert configured in HQ to be enabled=yes"?


Thanks,

Josh

Hi Josh,

There was a discussion regarding this already:

http://communities.vmware.com/message/1915096#1915096

As for being able to better navigate the alerts (there have been many
different requests for this), we are planning on designing an alert
center, where you can manage and view alerts more easily.

To better manage the recipient list, you should make use of the
escalation schemes. An escalation scheme can be associated with
multiple alert definitions, and you can change the escalation scheme
to affect all of the alert definitions that use it.
