vCenter 6.5 - alerting related to ESXi hosts hardware health is not working

[vladimir1974]

Hi,

I already have three vCenter 6.5 and none of them have triggered any alert/event related to ESXi hosts hardware health changes.

I have hosts with broken disks, broken battery, broken PSU... and they all were alerting in vCenter 5.5/6.0. I can see all these issues in ESXi hots 'hardware status' tab, but none of them triggered an event/alert in vCenter.

Is there anyone who has seen hardware related alert triggered in vCenter 6.5?

I have an open support request with VMware support for last couple of months on this topic, but they haven't been helpful at all.

Kind regards,

Vladimir

Thank you Randhir, but I don't think these belong to the same issue.

I can see all sensors and alerts in the ESXi host 'Hardware Status' tab, but the problem is that they are not producing any event/alert in vCenter.

Kind regards,

Vladimir

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution / workaround in the meantime?

Hello Vladimir

I believe this will be fixed soon in upcoming releases.

As far as I know, future releases of 6.5 will have fix for the problem you are facing

This is known issue :

Hardware Status miscategorizes voltage, Storage, Processor entries, missing Hardware health  Alarm

Meanwhile, You can check Host UI for hardware sensor status for better response.
