• Unable to collect vCenter alarms/tasks/events

  Hello

  I have a journal Insight 3.0 and installing vCenter Server 5.5 U2b environment.

  I created a clone of Read-Only and add the following permissions:

  Global.Licenses

  Global.SetCustomField

  Host.Config.AdvancedConfig

  Host.Config.NetService

  Host.Config.Network

  Host.Config.Settings

  System.Anonymous

  System.Read

  System.View

  This role is spread from data centers (upper level) and connected to an AD user account.

  When I integrate Log Insight with my any snippet vCenter and it is saved correctly in the Administration tab for the particular Server vCenter (collect vCenter Server events, tasks and messages is checked), but nothing ever appears in vCenter alarms / tasks despite the fact that there are a lot of things for at least a month back. I use a custom range, which should be enough.

  I tried the same thing in our development environment with an administrator privileged account and it works fine, I get a lot of vCenter alarms and whatnot in the dashboards. However, I want to use the least permissions if possible.

  Am I missing a permission/privilege? Is there a log file I can check for errors/warnings?

  Can be set to RESPOND.

• vCenter alarms & SNMP Trap

  Gang-

  I try to get my vCenter alarms to send traps SNMP for SNMP Manager/receiver so we can automatically open the service tickets based on certain types of vCenter alarms.  I have loaded MIB and OID translate for VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIBs.

  Everything goes well and using the free utility TrapReceiver I'm able to test receive interrupts.

  Here's my problem...

  I don't know how vCenter is differentiate the name of alarm vCenter in trap data.  Some vCenter alarms/traps, I want my ticket system to open lower or higher priority tickets, so I need to figure out how vCenter translated the alarm at the "vmwVpxdObjValue" into the trap.  Unfortunately I can't find any information on how to translate this value and I don't want to wait for all my events to trigger production, just to get a sample, so I don't know what to expect.

  Any ideas?

  VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB

  vpxdAlarmInfo

  notification

  OID - 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.3.0.203

  Thank you

  Well shoot - that isn't quite right either.

  Seems that if it is a fault of the alarm system, the TRAP will leverage the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.systemname as the beginning of the vmwVpxdObjectValue data.

  If it is a user/custom alarm, it seems to refer to the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.name.

  I have to have a script that includes both.

• I want alarms to stay there in vcenter alarms tab until I manually acknowledge vcenter 5.1, even though the issue has been resolved. Is this possible?

  I want alarms to stay there in vcenter alarms tab until I manually acknowledge vcenter 5.1, even though the issue has been resolved. Is this possible?

  I think that it is possible for costom alarm unless if someone this cleat. but for some the alarm settings by default, it will be deleted once the threshold/connection back to normal. to do this, you need to change the alarm and the need to remove the condition that meet as nornmal (means, for this default it will multiple alarm (one is green to red or another is red to green...) so remove settings from red to green. so he will be there until you ack and reset it)

• VM storage in vCenter alarms

  I feel like these should exist and that I've seen them before, but I can't find it anywhere...

  I'm looking for an alarm in vCenter, which fires when a virtual machine is close to maxing out the storage has been provisioned. In other words, when a virtual storage used machine is a percentage of its provisioned storage space...

  I talk to the machine virtual level, not at the level of the store of data/volume...

  Can someone help me?

  You can create beyond those presented in vCenter alarms. This is a custom alarm doc http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12145

• vCenter alarm action script to start a workflow vRO with curl

  I have a script that I use on the vCenter servers to launch when an alarm is triggered, and this script will use curl to start a workflow vRO.  Everything has been awesome to work until I've finished upgrading all servers in vRO to 7.x now I get this error

  Server: ~ # /root/scripts/alarmaction.sh

  * Subject to connect() to x.x.x.x port 8281 (#0)

  OK, so an algorithm of encryption or something got deleted in version 7.x.  Can someone else me one that exactly and how do I add the encryption required to connect again?

• vCenter alarms and calling a powershell script

  OK, I'm missing something or I'm doing something incredibly stupid.

  I created a simple powershell script that starts a pre-defined VM. I tested it in PowerGUI, it works fine, no problems so far.

  Now all I want to do is set an alarm to ANOTHER VM of vCenter, such that if the virtual machine goes down (power of the off state), the script above is called and "failover" VM is started.

  I set up the alarm with a "run a script" action, the script is: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe C:\SCRIPTS\FAILOVER.ps1" (including the quotes).

  And you guessed it: the script does not run. I'm sure that it doesn't, because the part of the script creates a log file, and this file is not creaed (it IS created when I run the PowerGUI script).

  What I am doing wrong? How can I get the alarm to hit my script?

  Thank you!

  I've never managed to run a PS script this way or the other.

  But I found a workaround.

  You can start your PS script indirectly via a BAT or CMD file.

  That's what I set in the value field

  c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\Scripts\alarmscript.bat
  

  And the BAT file contained this

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsolefile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" -Command C:\Scripts\Test-Alarm.ps1
  

  In the example script I used

  Get-VIToolkitVersion | Out-File "C:\Scripts\PSOut.log" -Append
  Get-PSSnapin | Out-File  "C:\Scripts\PSOut.log" -Append
  

• Upgrade command-line VCenter fails with incorrect path in VCDatabaseUpgrade.exe

  I have also included the vminst.log file.

  The log file and the screenshot show the wrong file path (missing one ' \') characters in the path. Any thoughts?

  I did some digging in the vmvcsr.log file and noticed that it changed the SetupDir and the SETUPEXEDIR to Z:\vCenter-Server instead of Z:\vCenter-Server\

  I added the SETUPEXEDIR = and SetupSource = command line options and the installer still changed their return. "So, I removed the v'" and put the directories all in escaped quotes. This solves the problem.

  I still think that the installer must put the correct path on its own source dir facility. It should be smart enough for that!

  Here's the line Arguments that worked:

  $processInfo.arguments = "/S /qr SourceDir=`"$sourceDir`" SETUPEXEDIR=`"$sourceDir`" DB_EXISTING_VERSION=550 DB_USERNAME=`"$AdminUser`" DB_PASSWORD=`"$AdminPass`" LAUNCHWIZARD=1 VCS_DB_BACKUP=1 SSO_ADMIN_USER=`"$AdminUser`" SSO_ADMIN_PASSWORD=`"$AdminPass`" /L*v $env:temp\vmvcsvr.log"

• VCenter alarms

  My fault, I removed the lun without deleting the data store in the virtual machines. And now, my sensors are going crazy.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Hello

  The first alarm event will depart from grey - which means that it is the first time. or there is no before trigger registered for this event

• Mystery vCenter alarm

  I have a cluster of 5 servers, one of them has an alarm on that I can't find, it isn't under the alarms of the host, the Cluster, DC or the server.  Any advice as to where I might be able to find the cause of this error?

  have you tried right click "reconfigure for HA?  In addition, the tab alarms for this host, nothing appears?  What tasks and events.

  You can also try to restart the management agents

  > service vmware-vpxa restart

• Extract alarm VCenter via PowerCLI

  Nice day!

  I have a script which collects VCenter alarms and inform me by e-mail. It collects the alarm of VM, host, the data centers with clusters, etc. But I had the alarm to the VCenter. I can't find how to extract using PowerCLI. Invites, who face this problem.

  

  Level vCenter alarms can normally be recovered through the folder hidden data centers.

  Use the entity returned by 'Get-file-name data centers'

  Frank gave the right values.

  To check it out yourself, sign in vCenter server using vSphere client.

  Click the object vCenter > alarms > definitions > right-click on the use of the data on disk store and go into editing it.

  You will find the values under triggers.
