That's fine to me. I've already did a script to check the alarms daily.. So i'll filter the creations and execute a script to change the custom attribs.
By the way, im using this function (credits for http://wannemacher.us😞
Function Get-TriggeredAlarms {
param (
$vCenter = $(throw "A vCenter must be specified."),
)
$vc = Connect-VIServer $vCenter -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
if (!$vc) {
Write-Host "Failure connecting to the vCenter $vCenter."
exit
}
$rootFolder = Get-Folder -Server $vc "Datacenters"
foreach ($ta in $rootFolder.ExtensionData.TriggeredAlarmState) {
$alarm = "" | Select-Object VC, EntityType, Alarm, Entity, Status, Time, Acknowledged, AckBy, AckTime
$alarm.VC = $vCenter
$alarm.Alarm = (Get-View -Server $vc $ta.Alarm).Info.Name
$entity = Get-View -Server $vc $ta.Entity
$alarm.Entity = $entity.Name
$alarm.EntityType = $entity.GetType().Name
$alarm.Status = $ta.OverallStatus
$alarm.Time = $ta.Time
$alarm.Acknowledged = $ta.Acknowledged
$alarm.AckBy = $ta.AcknowledgedByUser
$alarm.AckTime = $ta.AcknowledgedTime
if(($alarm.Alarm -ne "Virtual machine cpu usage") -and ($alarm.Alarm -ne "Virtual machine memory usage")){
$alarm
}
}
Disconnect-VIServer $vCenter -Confirm:$false
}
