• script to collect 'Triggered alarms' 4 VC in a single report

  Hi team,

  I'm looking for a script to collect 'Triggered alarms' 4 VC in a single report. We use ESXi 4.1 worm in the VC.

  Is it possible to collect all 4 VC triggered alarms in a report by acronym and automatically by email with an Excel report.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

• not triggered alarm not: insufficient vSphere HA failover resources

  This alarm is only triggered when a HA action fails?  I have a cluster of two hosts ESXi 5.0, and since I'm on more than 50% of available memory on each host, for me, it seems that I can't tolerate a single host failure.

  

  HA and DRS are enabled on the cluster, and the "admission control policy", I have 'percent of reserved failover cluster resources', set at 50%.

  So why no alarm?  My goal is to get an alert before to reach the State we begin, where we cannot tolerate apparently not a failure of the host.

  > Based on this and the absence of the alarm, we can assume that if I dropped one of the hosts of this 2-host cluster, all the virtual machines would be able to start on the only host remaining, correct?

  Correct, if one of your guests crashed or zero all your VMS would have sufficient resources to start (no guarantee of performance, just start/running)

  > And the alarm, I want to talk to the title of this thread only is triggered when what 98% to 50% or less, correct?

  There's no alarm. When your ability to failover CPU or memory reaches 50% admission control will prevent you from turn another VM

  > I am still concerned about the diagram of distribution of this resource for memory, however. It looks like I could push up to 100% on both hosts and still no push failover memory less than 50% capacity. I guess that this is due to the fact that my virtual machines have no memory reserved, so vSphere counts only the minimum amount of memory to start the virtual machine, and it will depend on permutation and balloon so all virtual machines start actually using all of their memory.

  Fix

  > So the alarm I'm looking for is the one that reproduces the table of distribution of resources and alerts when the total unused memory in the cluster is less than the total memory to a single host.  Make sense?

  I'm not aware of an alarm like this. You may be able to find something through google or create something yourself. On the creation of reserves for your virtual machines? Or less the most important? This way you can ensure that they will get resources when they restart. Or if you really want you can replace admission control by hosting dedicated failover policy? (I do not think that I recommend with what I know of your situation, but it will give you what you ask for).

  Have you watched the vRAS fling? VM and Service availability & #8211 resources; VMware Labs

  This adventure allows you to perform a host on your infrastructure failure analysis. You can simulate the failure of one or more hosts in a cluster (vSphere) and identify how:

  • Virtual machines will re-start safely on different hosts
  • Virtual machines would not be restarted on different hosts
  • Virtual machines would be the degradation in performance when rebooted on a different host

  With this information, you can better plan the location and configuration of your infrastructure to reduce the downtime of your virtual machines / Services in case of failure of the host.

• Purpose of the triggered alarm

  Hello

  I am trying to create a script that sends an email with all the daily alarms from VMware.  I did everything, but the part that identifies the object that is actually in a State of alarm.  I use the code below I've seen in other similar questions, but I can't find anything in the SDK that will produce this object.  I can get it only to point to the object where it is actually defined.  Am I missing a property which will produce who or what I have to drill down to each object in the inventory and check for alarms triggered?

  $vcenter = "vcntr01".

  SE connect-VIServer $vcenter

  $datacenters = (get-data center * | get-View)

  {foreach ($datacenter to $datacenters)

  foreach ($triggered in $datacenter. TriggeredAlarmState) {}

  $alarmDef is get-view-Id $triggered. Alarm

  Write-Host "$((get-vue_$alarmDef.Info.entity).name) $($alarmDef.Info.Name).

  }

  }

  Thank you!

  Try like this

  Get-Datacenter | where {$_.ExtensionData.triggeredAlarmState} | %{  $_.ExtensionData.triggeredAlarmState |  Select Time,    @{N="Entity";E={Get-View $_.Entity | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},    @{N="Alarm";E={Get-View $_.Alarm | Select -ExpandProperty Info | Select -ExpandProperty Name}}}
  

• Reset a triggered alarm

  Using the SDK, I would like to reset the alarm that was triggered on a VM - equivalent to a user of the VIC right click on alarm and choosing "reset to green".  Recognizing, it is easy, but I would like that he do disappear completely and don't see any way to do this via the API.  I don't want to affect other bodies, triggered the alarm even on different virtual machines, so turn off/on or recreate the alarm is not an option.

  A way to do what I'm just missing?

  Thank you

  Brian

• The triggered alarms and Notification by Email

  Hello.  Where can I configure the notification email for alarms triggered in VirtualCenter?  Help, please.  Thank you for your time.

  Find the object that contains the definition of the alarm.  Change the settings of the alarm, go to the Actions tab, click Add at the bottom, select e-mail notification in the action and email in the value.  Before you do this, you must make sure that SMTP is enabled.  To do this, change the configuration of the server virtual center management, go to the mail section and add your mailhost and on behalf of the sender.

• Is it possible to automate the export of my InDesign file to several different export settings with PDF files?

  OK, so not sure if this is possible, but it would be a great time for me if possible gain, so I throw it out there.

  I often work on spec sheets to work in InDesign and when I finished, I have preset PDF export settings for Print and Web. Printing has all the markings of bleed and printer, and one, web well... you get the idea.

  For now, I need to run export separately; so I do my export to a PDF print... and then I make my export to obtain a PDF optimized for Web.

  These are separate tasks, but surely there must be a script or another way to get InDesign just export the two PDF files at the same time, respecting the presets they are posted.

  How can I do this?

  Looks like it's what you're looking for:

• Run for the triggered alarm settings

  Hello.

  I set an alarm to call a script whenever a virtual computer is vMotioned with the following code:

  My $alarmScript = "C:\event-reporter.bat";

  my =::get_service_content()-> alarmManager Vim $alarmMgr;

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

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

  My $alarmAction = RunScriptAction-> new)

  script = > $alarmScript

  );

  My $alarmTrigger = AlarmTriggeringAction-> new)

  action = > $alarmAction,

  red2yellow = > 1,

  green2yellow = > 1,

  yellow2red = > 1,

  yellow2green = > 1

  );

  My $alarmSpec = AlarmSpec-> new)

  name = > 'VM vMotioned. "

  Description = > "Trigger to run the VM startup script."

  activated = > 1,

  expression = > $alarmExpr,

  action = > $alarmTrigger,

  );

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

  I would like to improve this alarm from the run settings to the script during the VM migration, more specifically the IP address to the accommodation ESX host recently migrated VM. I know that using the ActionParameter constants, you can spend TIME info, but I don't know if it is possible to pass information of the object (VM), the alarm is associated.

  Thank you.

  Juan Aristizabal.

  The "ActionParameter" provides only a set of constants whose value is replaced by the processor of the action with the performance values. You will not be able to pass a custom constant whose value can be substituted for the IP Address of the host (in your case).

• Need help with loading BSO cube with several data export files using the Regional service

  Hello
  
  We have BSO cubes that are huge and when I expoted data in files, it generated ABC.txt, ABC_1.txt, ABC_2.txt, like this.
  
  How to load this data in the Cube that sits on the other environments? We use Essbase 9.3.1.
  
  I can load the individual files using EAS data loading? If so, ABC_2.txt then ABC_1.txt and finally an ABC.txt would be the loading sequence back?
  
  Please suggest.

  As Essbase is written this block by block, each block will have its complete info if it is done as a single export or parallel export. You can easily prove this (and I have) If you export a database and load only files 2 or 3, it loads without error. don't forget that you load a file rules, the load fails when the first error. There is no error found, so a value of a complete block of information must be present. Also open export (large files can be opened with wordpad) and you will see a complete info for block exery

• Set up the alarm is triggered when the migration of VM with DRS

  Hello, I have a client who has Vmware 5.5, we have DRS setup and his works fine.  If I check the tasks and events, I can see the occasional VM being migrated.  What I want to do is to set up an alert when a VM migrates from one host to another due to the DRS, I want that it send me an email.

  Ive went through default alerts and do not see one.

  I tried to create an alert, but that's where I'm starting to get confused.

  I have create a new alarm, I choose "Monitor for specific events.

  Under triggers, I add an event

  One of the events is VM migrated - this looks like one I'd like to

  My problem is what to put for the advanced settings?

  Ill add an Argument, but I'm not sure that what to put here.  There are options like host-ID hostname, but the operator for these seem to want you to know the specific host, it's on.  But there will be moments where the VM can bounce between two different hosts.  So I don't know which host its on.  I just want to know that it has migrated and when.

  I'm sure it's very simple and im just missing something

  Thanks for the help

• Triggers and alarms Weirdness

  Hello

  Environment:

  vCenter 4.0.0 build 208111

  When you edit a trigger type on the already existing alarm triggers tab, I get the following error:

  "An alarm with the specified name already exists. Specify a different name.

  It is surely not good?

  Did anyone else get this?

  More information:

  IM changing the alarm 'use of data on the disk store. "

  I also see two of each alarm?

  Same problem here.  I applied vSphere 4 Update 1 and I saw triggered alarms on my use of the data store that were not already there.

  I had customized the alarm 'Use of data to drive store' in the past.  My thought is to update 1 recreates alarms custom for some reason any?  So now, there are 2 that appear in the list with the same name: one with my settings and the other with the original settings.

  I was able to delete that I didn't and the other taking effect immediately.  AND I was able to make changes to the settings.

  Kind regards

• PowerCLI script alarms

  Hello.

  I am trying to create a script that can take all the vm that triggered a specific alarm as "the processor of the virtual machine using" with an alert and put the machine names to a csv file. so far, I found a lot of information how to do that on all the alarms but not how I define one type of alarm. Is there a simple solution to this?

  BR jorber

  -Very well, so basically you want to filter anything that contains 'use of the virtual machine CPU' in AlarmInfo attribute.

  The simple way to do this is to add a Where clause clause before heading to Export-CSV, as follows (see the changes in bold):

  $ignoreAlarms = @("Virtual machine cpu usage")
  $vm_all = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine
  $Report=@()
  foreach ($vm in $vm_all){
    foreach($triggered in $vm.TriggeredAlarmState){
      If ($triggered.OverallStatus -like "red" ){
        $lineitem={} | Select Name, AlarmInfo
        $alarmDef = Get-View -Id $triggered.Alarm
        $lineitem.Name = $vm.Name
        $lineitem.AlarmInfo = $alarmDef.Info.Name
        $Report+=$lineitem
      }
    }
  }
  $Report |Sort Name | Where {$ignoreAlarms -notcontains $_.AlarmInfo } | export-csv "c:\temp\VM-Red-Alarms.csv" -notypeinformation -useculture
  Invoke-item "c:\temp\VM-Red-Alarms.csv"
  

  I also added a table of alarms to ignore, this way if you have several types of alarms that you want to ignore, you can add it to the table.

  Change to 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' should give you a bit of a speed improvement as well

• Send alarms to external text file

  You can open the dashboard of alarms (table) and then export (click the customizer right) messages to a file.
