Ports down Alarm when part of LAG

[andvm]

Hi,

Am noticing that when a Host has 2x ports forming a LAG and 1x or both links go down, vCenter does not send any alert or mark the Host with an Alarm symbol.

ESXi logs that the specific vmnic or both have been taken out of the LAG and that the respective vmnic is down.

What is the respective VCSA alarm that can be added so when there is such link failure/s part of LAG I do get email alert?

Thanks

I had the same issue. I created a new alarm for distributed switches (IF dvPort was down) to have alerts when redundancy is lost.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. This also gives an alarm on ports of VM's that are turned off. So not really what I was looking for.
Support said to create an idea with VMWare, so I did: https://vsphere.ideas.aha.io/ideas/VSP-I-1678

I received the following from VMware support:

Use the below conditions:
trigger if
esx.problem.net.lacp.uplink.transition.down

reset if :
esx.audit.net.lacp.uplink.connected

In step 1 you need to select target 'hosts'.
Also when when pasting the custom alarm in step 2, 'esx.problem.net.lacp.uplink.transition.down', it will show 'No items to display', here you just have to ignore it and press <enter>.
