Possible to export alert list?

[ah212798]

In vRealize Operations Manager 6.1, is it possible to export the alerts in a list format, like CSV or a text file?

Hi,

Yes it is possible to create a RSS Feed with all existing Alerts (as well as you can specify a filter to show specific alerts ).

You have to create a dashboard with Alert List widget, where you can see list of all existing Alerts (or filter to see specific Alerts), then you can press RSS Feed button on the widget and it will create a RSS Feed.

This might be a way to do it, but I'd like to export to CSV or text directly to send these to a third party.

Are you looking to export an Alert list of Alert Names? Or also the rulesets+config included within the Alerts. This can be accomplished using the vR Ops API.

Ok, another way to do it, You can create a report template with "Alerts that are currently active", then you can run the report template on vSphere World object, it will generate a pdf and csv file.
