Chapter 8: Alerts

Virtualization Manager uses alerts to monitor the environment for specified

conditions, and to notify users or external systems about those conditions. You

can configure alerts to fire when a specific condition arises, when it ceases to

exist, or both. Virtualization Manager contains over 40 alerts by default to help

you identify and highlight common problems in virtual environments.

Note: Virtualization Manager includes an alert that triggers when a VM fails to

send a heartbeat after the expected interval. For sending a heartbeat in a VMware

environment, VMware Tools has to be installed, and in a Hyper-V environment

the Integration Service has to be installed or enabled.

If no heartbeats are being received for any of the VMs on a host, it could indicate

a problem on the host itself, or that none of the hosted VMs have the required

VMware Tools or Hyper-V Integration Service installed or enabled.

To see the available alerts:

1. Click Content on the Explore tab.

2. Open the By type accordion on the left, and then select Alerts.

To create a new alert:

1. Search for a set of items that you want to alert on.

2. Click Create Alert.

To delete an alert:

1. Navigate to Explore > Content, and then filter or search for the alert you

want to delete.

2. Select the alert, and then click Delete in the top right.

After performing these steps, the alert will be removed.
