Unable to collect vCenter alarms/tasks/events

• vCenter alarms & SNMP Trap

  Gang-

  I try to get my vCenter alarms to send traps SNMP for SNMP Manager/receiver so we can automatically open the service tickets based on certain types of vCenter alarms.  I have loaded MIB and OID translate for VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIBs.

  Everything goes well and using the free utility TrapReceiver I'm able to test receive interrupts.

  Here's my problem...

  I don't know how vCenter is differentiate the name of alarm vCenter in trap data.  Some vCenter alarms/traps, I want my ticket system to open lower or higher priority tickets, so I need to figure out how vCenter translated the alarm at the "vmwVpxdObjValue" into the trap.  Unfortunately I can't find any information on how to translate this value and I don't want to wait for all my events to trigger production, just to get a sample, so I don't know what to expect.

  Any ideas?

  VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB

  vpxdAlarmInfo

  notification

  OID - 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.3.0.203

  Thank you

  Well shoot - that isn't quite right either.

  Seems that if it is a fault of the alarm system, the TRAP will leverage the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.systemname as the beginning of the vmwVpxdObjectValue data.

  If it is a user/custom alarm, it seems to refer to the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.name.

  I have to have a script that includes both.

• How to remove the alarms and events database of Citadel?

  Hello

  I use LV 2010 with DSC.

  I made a mistake in my program and I wrote too much data event and alarm at the Citadel. Database *.mdf/*.ldf files are quite large > 1 G. Normally, I connect only two alarms per day. I want to delete all events alarm + data before a certain time of stamps for example. 1.1.2011. How can I do? I tried to use MAX and perform the operation so I wrote small program which reach the data from temporary database and then remove it. Yet I can find old events and alarms... I am able to remove the traces of old but not the events/alarms. How do I remove the alarms and events?

  Thanks, Jim

  What is the exact error message received when the problem occurs?

  Methood 1:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  Method 2:

  You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  I suggest to put the computer in a clean boot state, and check if the problem persists, see the link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: See step 7; Reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting is performed.

  Method 3:

  You can temporarily disable the security software and check if the problem occurs. Check out the following link to do the same thing:

• BlackBerry Smartphones unable to disable the alarm on Bold 9700

  On the 'page' clock, there is a red symbol that looks like a BB or a keyboard & there 09:00 there too... I went into the settings of the alarm & have been unable to remove this alarm. I don't know what it is.   Also, on the homepage, there is a tiny clock symbol. Can someone help me with this?

  There are two types of clocks on the BB - ordinary alarm clock and a daily wake which is defined by the calendar. Here's how to solve each of them...

  Ordinary clock radio:

  1. In the clock, press the Menu key.
  2. Click set alarm.
  3. On the trackpad, slide your finger upward or down to select. Drag your finger to highlight on or weekdays.
  4. Press the ESC key.
  5. Click Save.

  Daily wake-up (remove an appointment, meeting, or alarm):

  1. In the home screen, click the calendar icon.
  2. Highlight an appointment, meeting, or alarm.
  3. Press the Menu key.
  4. Click on delete.

  For the latter, you will have to switch to daily view to see any alarms on the list.

• I want alarms to stay there in vcenter alarms tab until I manually acknowledge vcenter 5.1, even though the issue has been resolved. Is this possible?

  I want alarms to stay there in vcenter alarms tab until I manually acknowledge vcenter 5.1, even though the issue has been resolved. Is this possible?

  I think that it is possible for costom alarm unless if someone this cleat. but for some the alarm settings by default, it will be deleted once the threshold/connection back to normal. to do this, you need to change the alarm and the need to remove the condition that meet as nornmal (means, for this default it will multiple alarm (one is green to red or another is red to green...) so remove settings from red to green. so he will be there until you ack and reset it)

• 'Command' in vCenter alarm

  Hi all

  We are recently receving bunch of vCPU alerts. We want to take these courses of the time period. So, I want to save the info to a database alert.

  I came to know the "run command" in vCenter alarm, which is great. I am able to run the powershell script example using that.

  I wonder if someone can help me on passing the parameters (green, red, metric, vCenterServer name etc.) script powershell is on my vCenterServer. I don't know that there should be a way. Any thoughts or ideas?

  My goal is to send the alarm information to the powershell script and then insert these data in databases so that we can have a story and that you can query easily.

  Thus, whenever there is a generated vCPU alert, powershell script will be executed and insert database values.

  Please let me know if there is a better way to do it.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rajesh.

  I think that the reasoning behind this folderpath and set the AppData environment variables is explained by Carter in step 1.

  These alarm scripts will run under the account of the vCenter Service service, and does not the vCenter uses environment variables.

  The non-existent folder is just a new folder you have to create yourself.

  Can you try to add a Start-Transcript (beginning of the script) and Stop-Transcript (end of the script) to your script?

  This will give you a log of what the script does.

• VM storage in vCenter alarms

  I feel like these should exist and that I've seen them before, but I can't find it anywhere...

  I'm looking for an alarm in vCenter, which fires when a virtual machine is close to maxing out the storage has been provisioned. In other words, when a virtual storage used machine is a percentage of its provisioned storage space...

  I talk to the machine virtual level, not at the level of the store of data/volume...

  Can someone help me?

  You can create beyond those presented in vCenter alarms. This is a custom alarm doc http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12145

• during extraction of tasks / events for warehouses of data with powershell

  Hi, I'm looking for the extraction of tasks using powershell events (the same information you will find in using customer vi, inventory home, tabs for data warehouses, tasks, and events) to find the task of 'delete' (for example)

  I would like to use the Get-Vievent command, but I'm unable to use the - entity. Get-datastorename data store

  I think that using the data store object is not possible for the get-vievent command.

  So I use:

  
  

  Get-Vievent - MaxSamples 100000 | WHERE-object {$_.} FullFormattedmessage-match 'delete'} | Select Createduserid, username, FullFormattedmessage | Export-csv "c:\export_ds.csv" - noTypeInformation - UseCulture
  

  It works but it is very slow (my environment is very large)... and I've reached the limit - maxsamples.

  Is there another way? or I have to use - start - stop to limit the number of events, and to several reports by month?

  Thank you very much

  Thierry

  The current version is not it, but it's a good idea.

  I'll update the function.

• Task & events

  Hello

  Is it possible to clear the tasks and events generated for a virtual machine that can be seen on the tab events & tasks in vCenter Server.

  I think the simplest will turn off the virtual machine removing inventory and adding it. Can't think of anything else (for a specific object).
