Configure Alerts email for hardware failures

Our ESXi 5.5 environment goes live today and now it will be in production I was wondering if there was a way to configure alerts email for hardware failures. For example, if a disk goes wrong in our RAID array, I want to be emailed on this subject. Is this possible, and is there a link to find out how to implement that?

Go to the Administration menu-> vCenter Server Settings-> E-mail and enter SMTP server and the account of the sender.

  • Configuration of email from lack of Smartphones blackBerry for personal account

    I'm having a very disappointing time with my new Blackberry 9700 I could really use help with it please.

    Following the installation wizard, I arrived to the e-mail configuration. The ONLY option is to enter an address associated with an Enterprise Server. There is no option to choose my Gmail account.

    After this step, I was hoping to find an alternative to get where I needed to be, but does not (at least none that I could find). Then I tried to upgrade my device software, which I did. So I am now under v5.0.0.405. Still no icon for the configuration of email in the settings window.

    I even tried to install Google Sync, but there is no hanging at "first login".

    I was really hoping it would be a lot easier than what I've heard great things about BB. I come from a Windows Mobile, so eager to get this resolved.

    Any help is appreciated more. Thank you.

    Try this page of Configuration of the Smartphone BlackBerry and select your provider of Blackberry BTW you did subscribe to the right cell provider's Blackberry plan?

  • E-mail to notify the hardware failure

    I install Assistant8.2 to the mail administrator for the detection of Dell PowerEdge server hardware failures. Actions and filters have been well settled according to the ITA user's guide.  In order to check whether the filters and actions were fine, I removed the power supply by unplugging, but I have not receive alert emails or see any newspaper in "Alert logs."  However, I can check the status of failure of the "Détails" view under the SNMP\baseboardGroup\eventlogTable path and material logs.  Is this due to no corresponding item in the categories/Sources(Alert Categories)?  If so, how to add a new Source alert SNMP or is it possible to trigger the filter with the journal of the EMS?  Your answer will be greatly appreciated.

  • Custom dashboard - alerts Email?

    Hello

    I put a dashboard customized for one of my app teams to monitor disk space on their servers

    In particular the / opt partition on Unix servers

    The dashboard works fine - but I can't seem to find out where we can set up email alerts to be generated for any server "not green".

    If you take a look at the attached

    dash1.JPG

    Need us for the yellow / Orange and Red servers (those where used comments file system % used is greater than 70%) is for the Vcops to send an alert message to the team of the app.

    Can someone point me in the right direction, where I can define the email alerts for the comments file systems?

    Hi Vishal,

    First of all, you have setup your system to generate alerts when used in comments file system % used is greater than 70%. You must then configure alert to you Notifications alerts.

    Configure instances of alert Manager to send alert in the form of e-mail notifications. Select Manager > configure outgoing alert. Add the Instance of alert Manager to send alert notifications to users in e-mail messages, you must create an alert handler which

    send alert notifications to a mail filter.

    Here is 'VMware vCenter Operations Manager information

    Administration guide.

    Procedure

    1 select Admin > configure outgoing alert.

    2 Add or change an instance of Manager e-mail alert.

    Response option

    Add an instance of alert Manager e-mail one click the Add alert Manager.

    b Select Email alert Type drop-down menu outgoing.

    c type a name for the Alert Manager instance in the Instance name text box.

    Change an instance of alert Manager E-mail select the Alert Manager instance and click the Edit Alert Manager. You

    Cannot change the outgoing alert type.

    3 set up or change the Alert Manager e-mail settings.

    Description of the option

    SMTP_HOST type the IP address of the SMTP server. The SMTP server provided by e-mail

    the recipients of the notifications of alert messages.

    SMTP_PORT type the SMTP port number. The default value is 25.

    4 click Test to test the filter.

    vCenter Operations Manager verifies that the SMTP host and port specified is valid and check it out

    the syntax and the data from the file emailFilter.xml.

    5 click OK to save your configuration.

    vCenter Operations Manager starts the Alert Manager instance.

    Configuration of email alert Notifications

    E-mail alert notifications configuration involves adding filter rules, definition of e-mail templates and configuration

    alert notification email settings.

    A filtering rule is a set of conditions and e-mail addresses. The vCenter Operations Manager E-mail plugin uses

    filtering rules to send email notifications to alert appropriate users based on the application, resources

    kind, level alert and other criteria.

    A definition of e-mail template specifies what file to use for a given type of alert e-mail template subtype, and

    status. An e-mail template file defines the body of the text of an e-mail alert notice.

    vCenter Operations Manager provides several default e-mail template files. You can also create your own

    custom post template files. In general, you use the model files of e-mail by default for most of the notifications and

    create e-mail customized files from model for users that require different information in their notifications. You can

    create e-mail custom templates before or after that you configure e-mail template definitions.

    You usually send file definitions as the e-mail template files. Most of e-mail template

    definitions of point to the same e-mail template file, even if they are for different combinations of types of alerts

    and beneficiaries.

    emailFilter.xml file

    emailFilter.xml is an XML file that defines the filter rules and model files to use for the alert message

    notifications. The file also contains the General settings that apply to all email alert notifications.

    CAUTION do not change the emailFilter.xml directly unless you are familiar with the syntax and the XML structure. A

    formatting error may prevent job email alert notifications. If you change emailFilter.xml directly,

    Make a backup of the file until you change it.

    After you change the emailFilter.xml file, you must restart the instance of plug-in filter e-mail in

    vCenter Operations Manager to make your changes take effect

    I was able to find the key value pair in PowerCLI where EnvEventSource/directions options, but I don't know if those who may be changed.

    If someone knows a way to do this, I would like to know how it is possible.

    Thank you.

    I think I knew that.  It seems that you have to connect directly to the ESXi host nothing to do with SNMP still, but if someone knows a way to avoid this, I'd love to hear it.  But this seems to work at the same time, but would need to change to more than one host at a time.

    ## Script function: Modify SNMP source for hardware events
    ## Usage: Connect to vCenter where host(s) reside, populate constants below and run
    
    ## Host to make changes to
    $strVMHost = "your_ESXi_5_host"
    
    ## Credentials for ESXi host(s)
    $strUser = "root"
    $strPassword = "your_password"
    
    ## Key to change value on (in case there are different key/value pairs you need to change in the future)
    $keySnmpEventSource = "EnvEventSource"
    
    ## New value for above key
    $valueSnmpEventSource = "sensors"
    
    ## Connect directly to VMHost in order to see the HostSnmpSystem object (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.host.SnmpSystem.html)
    Connect-VIServer -Server $strVMHost -User $strUser -Password $strPassword
    
    ## Get the VMHost .NET View object and select only the HostSnmpSystem object
    $viewHost = Get-VMHost -Server $strVMHost -Name $strVMHost | Get-View -Property ConfigManager.SnmpSystem
    
    ## Get the HostSnmpSystem object
    $viewHostSnmpSystem = Get-View -Id $viewHost.ConfigManager.SnmpSystem
    
    ## Create new empty HostSnmpConfigSpec (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.host.SnmpSystem.SnmpConfigSpec.html)
    $specHostSnmpConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostSnmpConfigSpec
    
    ## Populate newly created HostSnmpConfigSpec object with current values
    $specHostSnmpConfigSpec = $viewHostSnmpSystem.Configuration
    
    ## Modify desired value for the matching key
    ($specHostSnmpConfigSpec.Option | ?{$_.Key -eq $keySnmpEventSource}).Value = $valueSnmpEventSource
    
    ## Reconfigure the SNMP agent to take the new value
    $viewHostSnmpSystem.ReconfigureSnmpAgent($specHostSnmpConfigSpec)
    
    ## Disconnect from VMHost
    Disconnect-VIServer -Server $strVMHost -Confirm:$false
    

    Let me know if it works for your environment that we not use SNMP in ours, so I didn't do extensive testing.

  • where can I find an email for the Apple Store? Carl

    Hello

    Where can I find an email for the Apple Store?

    Update was not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. There was an error in the [[Store. I don't want to lose my money, which is more than 100 euros.

    Help, please.

    Carl

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.

    I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. HELP PLEASE. previous e-mail files are under mail then mail.earthlink* .net and each of the five mail .net is an email address I have. I can't find a way to identify each file by email to the specific email address (IE mail.my E-mail name.net) so I can copy the files and emails from the past to the email addresses now under tbird. previous installed e-mail identities may not be the current configuration of e-mail files in tbird. I think that I must be sure that mail.name.net matches the previous mail.name.net to be able to copy and paste the old to the new. is there a way to find the file name correct the old email and correspond to the new? all my emails very important information are mostly in the old mail electronic id and must be available in the identification of email again (but same) how can I do this?

  • My new iPhone has a hardware failure, or iOS this buggy?

    Hi all.

    This is my first time on these forums that I thought I could try. I recently bought a 6 s 64 gb unlocked (nine from Apple) iPhone on February 26. It came with iOS 9.1, and so as soon as I got it, I plugged into iTunes and updated to 9.2.1. Since I got my phone, it was glitch as *, and not what I heard about Apple being ecosystem. The last Apple device I owned was an old iPod Touch 5th generation I used as an advanced MP3 player. I don't remember iOS 6 and 7 is this glitch. None of my questions are reproducible, because they occur randomly and are not a model for them. They are random glitches, and several glitches that I attended with TouchWiz (for all Android users out there, you know what I'm talking about). I must still EVERYTHING breaks down at the moment, experience that is the stability of iOS, that I've heard, but I still have a bug free experience. Those bugs break transparent experience, making me almost want to return the unit. I tried to do a reset with iTunes and then reinstall all my data in the cloud (images, data, application, etc.) to try to separate myself from all the bugs that may be carried over to a restore from a backup. The cloth did NOTHING. I also tried running the beta of iOS 9.3 when it was in beta to try to fix, but nothing helped. Then I restored via iTunes and downgraded, by first removing the firmware on my computer so that it can be redownloaded once more in order to fix a corrupted download. I'm a loser. I don't know what the problem is, and I hope this isn't a hardware problem.

    I like to consider myself as tech his life, that I have a job in a computer SCIENCE Department, and I build computers in my spare time, even though I'm relatively new to the iOS ecosystem and I'm looking for outside help, help that Apple technical support would most likely pass a hardware problem, but before I jump to conclusions, I would like to hear some outside opinions.

    So my question to you all, it is iOS lossing is the way that it was and be super buggy, or is it my phone having a hardware failure (GPU, mobo, etc..) I would like to have quick answers, as these bugs make me consider going back to Android, even if I chose to go iPhone for a reason.

    If you did a clean reinstall - then you have done most of what we offer on these for a
