VMware Monitoring Events Triggers

[vlam]

Hi

Is there anyone that has done some triggers for the Events capture from the VMware monitoring side. I am trying but struggling to pull the data correctly from the simple check that it does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the following guest VM triggers configured:

Powered off

{Template Virt VMware Guest:vmware.vm.powerstate[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}].last()}=0

Power state changed

{Template Virt VMware Guest:vmware.vm.powerstate[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}].abschange()}<>0

VM Moved to another hypervisor

{Template Virt VMware Guest:vmware.vm.hv.name[{$URL},{HOST.HOST}].diff()}<>0

The latter two have actions to notify of the change.

Thanks #Zaniwoop

we try not to monitor the guests them selfs through VMware but I do need something similar for the Hypervisors if you have something like that perhaps.

Thanks

Thanks for this, what are you recovery expressions? Do you have any scripts/actions?

No scripts. The recovery message is the same as the problem message. (I am lazy)
