if your looking for a low disk alert then here is how you set it up<\/p>\n

To configure vRealize Operations Manager 6.x to generate low disk space alerts for virtual machines, new Symptom and Alert Definitions must be created.<\/p>\n

\n

Creating new Symptom Definitions<\/p>\n

To create new Symptom Definitions perform these steps:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0Log in to vRealize Operations Manager as a user with administrative privileges.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on Content <\/b>and then on Symptom Definitions<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  3. In the Filter box, type Guest partition<\/b> and press Enter. A Symptom Definition named Guest partition disk space usage<\/b> should be displayed.<\/li>\n
  4. Select the Guest partition disk space usage<\/b> Symptom Definition and then click the Clone <\/b>button.<\/li>\n
  5. Give the new Symptom Definition a meaningful name. For example Guest partition disk space usage reaching Warning limit<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  6. Change Info <\/b>to Warning <\/b>and 0 <\/b>to a desired disk space usage percentage value for which a Warning level alert would be generated.<\/li>\n
  7. Click the Save <\/b>button.\n
      \n
    • Repeat steps 4 through 7 two more times to create Immediate and Critical level Symptom Definitions. Ensure to set the name, criticality and metric values appropriately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Creating a new Alert Definition<\/p>\n

      To create a new Alert Definition perform these steps:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
        \n
      1. Log in to vRealize Operations Manager as a user with administrative privileges.<\/li>\n
      2. Click on\u00a0Content\u00a0<\/b>and then on\u00a0Alert Definitions<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      3. In the Filter box, type guest file system<\/b> and press Enter. An Alert Definition named One or more guest file systems is out of disk space<\/b> should be displayed.<\/li>\n
      4. Select the\u00a0One or more guest file systems is out of disk space<\/b> Alert Definition and click the Clone <\/b>button.<\/li>\n
      5. Give the new Alert Definition a meaningful name, for example One or more guest file systems is filling up<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      6. Update the Description to reflect the nature of the new Alert Definition.<\/li>\n
      7. Click the Delete <\/b>button next to the existing Symptom, One or more guest file systems out of space<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      8. Click Add Symptom Definitions<\/b> on the left.<\/li>\n
      9. In the filter box, type the name of the new warning level Symptom Definition and press Enter.<\/li>\n
      10. Drag the displayed Symptom Definition in to the Drag a Symptom Definition here for this Alert Definition<\/b> area on the right.<\/li>\n
      11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for the Immediate and Critical level Symptom Definitions.<\/li>\n
      12. Change All <\/b>to Any <\/b>next to Base object exhibits<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      13. Click the Save <\/b>button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
