Hi,

I was looking for some VM in our environment that needs consolidation, but so far no luck.

I need to have a VM that reports it needs snapshot consolidation in order to check the alarm, so once I have one I will be able to check it and implement it.

Regards, Marin

vPoller now supports getting alarms from the vSphere environment. I will update soon the Zabbix templates to include alarms as well.

That should show up in the Zabbix Dashboard as snapshot consolidation should trigger an alarm in vSphere.

@takenek: Can you please run this command from the command-line and let me know whether you see the vSphere alarms for snapshot consolidation?

$ vpoller-client --method vm.alarm.get --vsphere-host <vcenter-fqdn> --name <vm-name>

I don't have any VMs that need snapshot consolidation and can't test it myself, so want to be sure that this alarm is caught by vPoller before I update the Zabbix templates.

Thanks, Marin

taken@WIZJA2:~$ vpoller-client --method vm.alarm.get --vsphere-host vc02.xxx.net --name NMS.xxx.net

Thanks for providing that info!

I will update soon the Zabbix templates to report vSphere alarms as well.

Thanks, Marin

This is from other cluster:

taken@WIZJA2:~$ vpoller-client --method vm.alarm.get --vsphere-host vc02.xxx.net --name FF01.xxx.net
{"msg": "Successfully retrieved alarms", "result": [{"info": "Virtual machine Consolidation Needed status", "acknowledgedByUser": null, "acknowledged": false, "entity": "FF01.xxx.net", "key": "alarm-61.vm-362", "time": "2014-12-04 17:02:35.656962+00:00", "overallStatus": "yellow"}], "success": 0}

Zabbix support for vSphere alarms is present in the latest vPoller release.

Make sure to get the latest vPoller templates for Zabbix as well.

The example items in the Template VMware vSphere Datacenter - vPoller Native template contains discovery items, which would discover all triggered alarms in a Datacenter.
