• Create the alarm to run the script when migrating a VM

  Very well, I create an alarm that triggers a script that runs whenever a virtual computer is migrated automatically in a DRS cluster. I see in the API documentation that I could use the EventAlarmExpression - & gt; new (eventType = & gt; "VmMigratedEvent") (or maybe one of the other dealing with migration eventType). " The problem is that I don't see a way to be able to use a RunScriptAction with an EventAlarmExpression. It seems the only way is to use the RunScriptAction with a StateAlarmExpression. Here is a code snippet showing if all goes well I would do:

  My = $vmName ' name_of_vm;

  My $alarmScript = ' / usr/sbin/vm_migration_update.pl';

  My $vm = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = & gt; 'VirtualMachine.

  filter = & gt; {name = & gt; $vmName}) ;

  My $alarmMgr = Vim::get_service_content() - & gt; alarmManager;

  my $alarm = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = & gt; $alarmMgr);

  My $alarmExpr = EventAlarmExpression - & gt; new (eventType = & gt; (' VmMigratedEvent');

  My $alarmAction = RunScriptAction - & gt; (new)

  script = & gt; $alarmScript

  );

  My $alarmTrigger = AlarmTriggeringAction - & gt; (new)

  action = & gt; $alarmAction,

  1. red2yellow = & gt; 1,

  1. green2yellow = & gt; 0,

  1. yellow2red = & gt; 0,

  1. yellow2green = & gt; 0

  );

  My $alarmSpec = AlarmSpec - & gt; (new)

  name = & gt; "Migrated VM."

  Description = & gt; 'Trigger to run the script then from VM migration',

  activated = & gt; 1,

  expression = & gt; $alarmExpr,

  action = & gt; $alarmTrigger,

  );

  My $newAlarm = $alarm - & gt; CreateAlarm (entity = & gt; $vm, spec = & gt; $alarmSpec);

  The problem is with the AlarmTriggeringAction. There is nothing to test with an EventAlarmExpression (i.e. the EventAlarmExpression does not provide States of red/yellow/green). So the question is, does anyone know how to set up an alarm that will run a script when an EventAlarmExpression is used. Specifically, I'd like to be able to run a script each time a virtual machine is migrated automatically in a DRS cluster. Pointers would be greatly appreciated.

  Try this:

  C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe C:\VMware\VMwareCLI\scripts\call_migrate_perl.cmd

  In fact, you can just run scripts perl like this:

  C:\Perl\perl.exe C:\scripts\migrate.pl

  Note: the commands are executed under 'System', not the user of the connection currently. If you don't see it visually. You can take a look at using Windows Task Manager if necessary.

  In addition, you can have parameters of placeholder that will be replaced before the "scripts" are actually executed.

  Good luck!

• Q: How do I re-create the alarm of the 'State of host memory.

  Hello

  Simple question:

  I accidentally changed the alarm "Memory host State", and I would put it back as it was. Can someone point out what the default alarm should have in the general tabs on triggers?

  Much obliged,

• Create new alarms

  Hello

  This magnificent script was created by LucD. The script creates a new alarm for the host. Does anyone know how to change the script creates the new alarm in vCenter level.

  $esxName = "hostname".

  $alarmMgr = get-view AlarmManager #only works when connect you to vc not esx
  $entity = get-VMHost-name $esxName | Get-View

  # AlarmSpec
  $alarm = new-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmSpec
  $alarm. Name = "home alarm.
  $alarm. Description = "host followed.
  $alarm. Enabled = $TRUE

  #Action
  $alarm.action = new-Object VMware.Vim.GroupAlarmAction

  $trigger = new-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmTriggeringAction
  $trigger.action = new-Object VMware.Vim.SendSNMPAction

  # Transaction
  $trans = new-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmTriggeringActionTransitionSpec
  $trans.startstate = "yellow".
  $trans.finalstate = "red".
  $trans.repeats = $false

  $trigger.transitionspecs += $trans

  $alarm.action.action += $trigger

  # Expression
  $expression = new-Object VMware.Vim.EventAlarmExpression
  $expression. EventType = "EnteringMaintenanceModeEvent."
  $expression. ObjectType = "HostSystem.

  $alarm.setting.reportingFrequency = 0
  $alarm.setting.toleranceRange = 0

  # Create the alarm.
  $alarmMgr.CreateAlarm($entity.) MoRef, $alarm)

  What values do you have in the $red and $yellow variables when you assign them to the corresponding properties?

  Maybe fix the script running, that you try to use, so I can take a look.

  BTW is there any error messages when you run your script?

• Creating an alarm with the reportAlarm of the API in a Simple Street

  I noticed that when I call reportAlarm an alarm is created, but it is deleted automatically. Is it possible to create an alarm that is not automatically cleared by foglight?

  Sample code I use:

  AlarmSourceName = @ruleName;

  AlarmRuleID = @ruleID;

  AlarmMessage = @alarmMessage;

  gravity of the int = 4 / / 2 == warning, 3 is 4 reviews, is fatal alarmID = server String. () AlarmService.reportAlarm

  UUID.randomUUID (m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ()),

  gravity,

  UUID.randomUUID (m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ()),

  AlarmMessage,

  AlarmSourceName,

  AlarmRuleID);

  I can locate the new detector under historical alarms. I expect to be under current alarms.

  Thanks for your response

  I could solve my problem

• How to move a rule definition with the data store for esx alarm without re-creating the rule?

  Hi, I would spend my rule of definition of alarm of the data at the level of esx store, without re-creating the rule. Is this possible?

  In the Act, I don't want no definition of the alarm at the data store level. So, what is the best practice?

  
  
  Best regards

  It is currently not possible.  The rules are hierarchical, and there is no way to stop the inheritance, or move messages.  You will have to re-create them at the appropriate level.

• Impossible to interrogate the alarms & events, alarms does not connect

  Hi all

  I recently ran a question with the DSC alarm event & logging. I have a number of all shared variables libraries set up to record data and alarms at the Citadel. I double checked that the library itself is configured for data recording and alarms, as well as all the variables. Using the DSM, I can see all alarms active in the system across all libraries and can receive all the alarm by program change events.

  For some reason, alarms to one of the libraries are logging, and attempt to query the historical events & alarms via MAX raise an error at about 14 of 15 times (with no code error or indication of why it fails). I have also tried to check the database of the Citadel, with it fails with an error unspecified (presumably during archiving on the side of things alarms, archive data seems to work).

  Can anyone offer an overview on how to solve the problem, preferably without data loss? In addition, how can I avoid this problem in the future?

  Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the llb related, but it could not remove existing data. That said, I managed to resolve the issue.

  Removal of the database of alarms (not only the alarms), did the trick. My approach was:

  1. stop all libraries through DSM

  2. create the new base of Citadel by MAX

  3. use DSC Archive Traces VI to check in the footsteps of the database active for the newly created database

  4. remove the active database

  5 detach the new database

  6. move the new database on disk for the location of the old database

  7. set the new database with the same name as the old database

  8. start all libraries

  At this point all the alarms started logging in correctly and I can query the alarms without problem. The system is on a UPS now, so I hope that any future power failure does not affect the things.

• Exempt / substitute a VM from a definition of the alarm

  I have a problem where a single virtual machine regularly has high CPU usage and trigger the alarm to default CPU.  I want to turn off the alarm of CPU on this virtual machine unique but want to leave it enabled on all other virtual machines.  I met someone with the same problem in this thread, what is old enough:

  Re: Substitution alarm

  Is it possible to substitute a definition of the alarm, or exempt a particular object to inherit the alarms configured at a higher level?  I know I can remove the definition of alarm CPU on the top-level object and create alarms of CPU for all other virtual machines manually, but that's not really what I'm looking for because it's a lot of work and it requires me to do not forget to create a CPU alarm whenever I create a new virtual machine.

  Is what I'm trying to do possible?

  Hello

  It is not so complicated, you can start with particular alarm (i.e. high CPU usage) on level of vCenter... then at the data center level

  Create two folders, one for VM you want to exclude the folder second alarm of CPU for other virtual machines.

  Next right on second alarm of CPU to recreate folder to make it spread to all other virtual machines.

  When you create a new virtual machine, simply place it in the right folder with desired awakening group.

  Although its not perfect for your case... you can also disable the alarm action at all to object to specific infrastructure.

  Just right click on VM - > alarm - > disable the stock alarm

• Replacement of the alarm

  Hello

  I have 1 VM that regularly reports the high utilization of the processor. The default alarm (datacenter) fires and sends an email. I do not want to change this action for all other virtual machines but want to substitute for the level of the virtual computer object. It doesn't seem to be a way to exclude objects from the definitions of the alarm, so I created a new alarm with increase in the thresholds and set it to no email. I thought this would cancel the alarm at a higher level as is specific VM but I'm still gettinmg the default alarm e-mails. It works not or what I need to do something else.

  Hi gerry,

  To apologize for the previous post. You were right about the change. We cannot change the alarm propagaged. We can only create new alarm any level.

  At this point, you have two options according to my knowledge.

  * You can configure snmp interruptions and send messages from the snmp Server (you need to look for more on this topic).

  * You can turn off the alarm to Parent (level vCenter) and either manually add alarms to VM level or PowerCLI/vCLI allows you to add multiple alarms to the cluster.

  Am sure there are a lot of perl or python scripts designed for it. Such a script, you can get it from the link below.

• How to: create an alarm when a VM (or VM) is migrated?

  Hello

  Someone has already tried to create an alarm in vCenter where you would get messages when a specific virtual machine is vmotioned?

  I know there are rules related to migration, but I couldn't make them work.

  I want to use these alarms as a way to follow a specific set of virtual machines (Nexus VSM modules). (I configure the alarm to send me an email). Ideally I hope of the email contains the new location for the virtual machine.

  Thank you

• Where is the alarm of overuse datastore disk?

  I read on the allocation of storage of discs thin-set monitoring service.

  Some articles refer to an alarm that warns of overuse of disk % age data store.

  However I don't find in vCenter Server... I looked in the alarms at several different levels and areas, including the storage of data.

  Should I manually create this alarm?

  Is it hidden somewhere?

  What are the recommended settings?

  It is a 4.1 ESX vCenter Server 4.1...

  Thank you, Tom

  relaxation in question may be added into the existing alarm 'use of data to drive store.  Since we don't thin available, I can't give you a use case, but the recommendations contained in the article would be a good starting point.
