How to create an alarm NTPd in vCenter

I tried to create a custom in vCenter alert that warns when the time of the host gets so far out of sync the NTP daemon stops.  I am using "esx.problem.ntpd.clock.correction.error" as the event of the host but no luck on getting this fire.  I can't even offer published in newspapers indicating the time synchronization attempt.  Has anyone ever been able to create a way to be notified when a host is out of sync?  I followed all articles and William Lam of Horst without result.

Thank you

Updated - alarm works!  Alert is triggered when the NTP daemon stops!

  • 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

    I hope it would be only certain types of admins/helpdesk do PW reset because you must connect to the WebView in order to run the workflow... in any case, you can follow this tutorial for a Webview based in vCO:

    http://www.vcoteam.info/articles/learn-VCO/107-create-a-simple-VCO-self-service-VM-provisioning-Portal-part-3.html

    Regarding the other prerequisites:

    vCO must have the ad plugin installed and configured to use SSL when communicating your AD environment. It is a requirement for users created with passwords and resetting passwords.

    When you get to the step of the tutorial for mapping a workflow, you'll want to use the workflow to "Change password". This is a workflow of library Active Directory that are available after the installation of the plugin AD and the vCenter Orchestrator Server service restarts.

  • Create new alarms

    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

    $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?

  • 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.

    David

    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!

  • How to create a PDF/X1a on a Mac? (with or without iWork)

    Hi all
    I don't have an idea what is a "PDF/X1a.
    I know how to create or convert PDF files on a mac, with the Preview app and the iWork.

    But a "PDF/X1a? What is c?

    Anyone know how to create or convert a "PDFX/X1a?

    Thanks to you all.

    Here is an explanation:

    https://www.prepressure.com/PDF/basics/PDFX-1A

    Frankly, I didn't know there are different "flavors". I create .pdf for years without knowing or worry about this. I just use an excerpt:

    Or, if you are in a document Pages (iWork as long that is not really exist anymore - there are separate applications: Pages, Numbers, Keynote), use the export as PDF option.

    Have never heard of someone that they were not able to read the PDF, I sent as an attachment.
