How to repeat alarms on vCenter 6.7

Hi,

I had a look around in the document but it is unclear as to how should I configure alarm which should repeat.

Below I wish to repeat the alarm if the host is above 85% CPU usage for 5 minutes and it should repeat every 15 minutes. I do not see the option to make it repeat. Only in flash I see this.

Highly appreciate any pointers.

With Great Regards,

Documentation on this refers to the vSphere Web Client, so maybe you need to use the HTML5 client: Specify Alarm Actions

If you want to configure "Repeat" for an Alarm Action you could use PowerCLI. I don't think it is available in the HTML5 Web Client.

My answer was based on the documentation - this section of the documentation:

contains this reference:

It is true that it is available in the vSphere Web Client (Flex) but apparently it is not in the vSphere Client (HTML5).
