This monitor tracks the vCenter vService Manager Health Alarm.
This alarm will fire in vCenter, using triggers defined via the vSphere Client.
By default, this alarm is triggered by the following events:
vCenter Event | Component | Alarm Status | Description |
vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent | vsm | alarm_status(green) | Health status of the vService Manager changed to GREEN. |
vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent | vsm | alarm_status(yellow) | Health status of the vService Manager changed to YELLOW. |
vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent | vsm | alarm_status(red) | Health status of the vService Manager changed to RED. |
Check whether the vService Manager service is running. If the service is stopped, try starting it again. For more information on stopping, starting, or restarting VMware vCenter Server 6.0 services, see this VMware KB article.
