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

  • Number of alarm for a custom dashboard report

    Hello
     
    We have a custom dashboard created for the team which shows a subset of the alarms which concern only the Unix Unix team
     
    How to generate a report that shows all alarms that applies only to the personal dashboard. Is it possible to retrieve the total number of alarms (criticism / warning and Fatal separately) generated in a day.

    Hi Shaji,

    I think that, before anyone can help with this question, you need give a little more information about the custom dashboard and how it gets its data, specifically how the dashboard does know what alarms to display.

    Dashboards customized very often uses the services to restrict or choose what they post.  If this is the case for your personalized dashboard, you can use the "analysis - Hosts events" report to report on the alarms against the hosts in this service.

  • Custom dashboard

    Hi all

    At the present time, I have 1 custom script (i.e. check_telnet) and this script I need to deploy N no time to monitor N not for host + Port each time when I deploy this script on any host it will create a new topology in the data model. Now, with custom dashboard I want to collect all of these host + Port and status in the single table/view, but I fight to achieve it, I thought that I can do it in Configuration->->-> Add application definitions, but I'm not able to combine. Can someone let me know how I can also all this information in a table as below

    Host Telnet_Status port

    1.1.1.1 1 1

    1.1.1.2 2 0

    Thank you

    Hi Shashank-

    If it's the same instances return the same type of topology agent script, you should be able

  • Unable to share the custom dashboard

    Hello

    I have the Version 5.8.2, build 1885282 od VCOPS company.

    It's the update from version 5.8.1.

    I created several dashboards customized in the version 5.8.1 I was able to share them between groups.

    But now in version 5.8.2 I don't see / have the share for dashboards customized button. All I see is:

    Dashboard tools: MODIFY REMOVE CLONE INTERACTIONS CREATE TEMPLATE EXPORT and IMPORT

    I'm in the band directors with all active access right.

    No idea what happened?

    Thank you

    Problem solved.

    The problem is connected to the web browser. Firefox and Chrome do not allow to share custom dashboards. Either a sharing option as there is no problem at all. Share - is the only one missing out of the entire line, and it became very confused to me. Login as administrator, Member of the Admin group, does not. The time I had to go to IE (which is very rarely as you can see) I was able to share the dashboard.

    Thank you very much for the help.

  • Change of automatic tab for custom dashboards

    Hello

    We have several dashboards custom designed and would like to show them as a monitoring on a large screen. But this is only useful if we have the possibility to automatically every 60 seconds on an another dashboard. Have anyone an idea how to get account only?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Christian

    Because you are using a custom dashboard, I would say that you use the Advanced/Enterprise license. You can configure the tab rotation in ' dashboards-> reorder tabs... ". ». From there, you can set what dashboards (Automatic Transition) and the time (inseconds) and the tab following (this tab). Do not forget to loop to the first tab if you want to loop forever.

    In addition, you might want to disable the time-out of the user interface. Check out my blog about this: http://www.jume.nl/entry/vcops-ui-session-timeout (or do a Google: vcops ui timeout).

    Copy of the resolved here, reply "dashboard is essentially a stripped-down web browser.

  • Alert Email of disabled blackBerry Smartphones but still receive a notification

    I have my blackberry storm installer with my business and personal email accounts.  I have notifications for installation on all accounts not warn me or the LED flash when I get a new email.  However, when I receive an email to my business address, my phone vibrate or ring if I have my phone on silent or ring.  It's very annoying I will receive allot of e-mails at work every day.  I have already entered the alert messages, selected my corporate email, turned the volume to silent, turned off the light and the vibration off.  Somehow, I always get a notification to every email.  Nobody knows another parameter to disable this notification?

    So I thought about it.  What you have to do is to go and create a custom profile.  Then go to the menu screen, click on sounds and scroll down to custom profiles.  Once you do this set the profile settings to work as you want and save the profile.  Now make sure to set it as your active profile.  No more bad vibes.

  • New on Foglight - better statistics for the dashboard alerts

    I would like to delete alerts of history that really make sense to keep such as a user having connection problems.  However, I would like to personalize history such as keep statistics for CPU, memory, disk usage.  I called quest and opened a ticket that they responded that they do not support this type of customization.  We bought Foglight to make the area more transparent DBA which means other groups will be watching the dashboards, for once that we recognize and disable alerts/alarms, I want these numbers to go.  Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Carolyn-

    First of all, welcome to our Community Site and Foglight.

    There are a couple things to point out on top:

    1. the alarm has a dashboard filter that you can assign only to view the current alarms or show historical alarms (e.g. alarms that have been deleted or that have taken place in the past). So, you can use this to set how you want old alarms to be displayed, and remove those that you don't care.

    2. If you really want to * remove * old alarms of the Foglight repository, you can do it too, but note if you do that they will not

    be available for display, and they will not be able to be used when we want to establish a correlation between a current alarm (for example when this type of alarm occurred before). Is actually deleting old alarms of the repository of something you want to do?

    3. Note that the * data * keeps Foglight can also be customized. If you look at the Administration-> data-> manage retention policies you

    can set policies on how long Foglight retains certain types of data and how Foglight roll (e.g. aggregates) data points while they age over time.

    If you look at Management Server-> servers-> data management, you will see the current * global * applied to all data entered data retention policy. You can customize this type of data in the view to manage retention policies.

    Does that help?

  • Grid control: Metrics.and custom SQL alert.

    Hello
    I need to set up the email alerts on a custom sql metric that I created.

    Here's what I did so far in the Enterprise grid control manager.

    (1) connect to EMGC
    (2) select the host and the target on the host computer.
    (3) select "User-Defined Metrics" on the lower right.
    (4) created my success of 'CUSTOM_CHECK' return either 0 custom sql script or 1 failure
    (5) registered.

    I'm trying to configure an alert message, when the script runs and generates an error.
    I'm also 10 other databases on 2 hosts, where I need this script to run and monitor.
    I need to create the metric of sql for each target on each host? Or y at - it an easier way to do it.

    How to set this in GC, while it traversese in the whole of the dataabases.
    Thank you
    Div

    Not that I know of. You go into each case and create the alert custom according to the parameters defined by the user. You can simply copy and paste the same script in each case.
    Please indicate your response message if you got your solution.

  • Is that what Apple alert email legitimate?

    I received an email this morning indicating my user ID was used to download an application on a device not associated with my account.  The e-mail provided a link to reset my password.  I have not used the link, but I did go to the Apple site and change my password.  I just got the same email.

    Is it legitimate, or is it a scam or phishing effort?

    You do so correctly, always go to the site directly yourself and not by a link from a few emails.

    If the e-mail addresses you with your full name, then it is. (Especially if you are changing the password).

    Sign up with Dear customer or something similar is a phishing attempt, do not respond.
