Hello All,
I'm trying to create an alert to monitor ESXI host temperature when it exceeds, lets say 80F. I have both vman and SAM, does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this task?
thank you for you assistance.
For a dashboard widget, you can use something like a Custom table. Here is an example to show just Hardware Temps records over 80. For us t looks like we are polling in Degrees C not F, something to consider.
What is the physical hardware you are running for the ESX Host? An example I have used is monitoring the Temperature through the HP ILO or Dell iDRAC hardware sensors. Setup SNMP on these management ports to query those metrics.
Hi Stevenstadel, thank you for your assistance. i have both Dell and HP ESXI host running both IDRAC and ILO. I also have snmp setup to monitor them. Infact, if i click on a specific host on vman, i am able to see the temperature. I would like to get an alert if i could get a dashboard that can display such alerts that would be an icing on the cake. Thank you for your assistance.
Hi Mickdon, Here is a quick alerting scope example.
Thank you @stevenstadel for your suggestion. I already tried a variation of that.
I want to alert on <hardware sensor (node>
The scope of alert
only following set of objects
All Objects where
All child condition must be statisfied and
Node machine type equal to vmware esx server
hardware sensor (node) hardware type name is equal to temperature
hardware sensor unique name is equal to other 1 01 iniet ambient
hardware sensor node unique name is equal to other 2 38 - front ambient
At least one child condition must be satisfied or
Hardware sensor node value is less than or equal to 83
Hardware sensor node Unit is equal to F

Just to test i got no result
