Alert definitions are combinations of symptoms and recommendations that identify problem areas in your environment and generate alerts on which you can act. You can import all NSX-T alerts into VMware Aria Operations, allowing the users to manage and monitor these alerts from a single location. This integration between NSX-T and VMware Aria Operations improves overall visibility and simplifies operations, making it easier to identify and address issues.
You can directly import alerts from VMware NSX (formerly known as VMware NSX-T) into VMware Aria Operations by setting the Import Alerts from NSX-T field to True while configuring the NSX-T adapter instance. For details, see the topic 'Configuring the NSX-T Adapter' in the VMware Aria Operations Configuration Guide.
Depending on the number of alerts and the system's performance, importing the alerts into
VMware Aria Operations may take some time.
Note: Importing alerts is not supported for NSX Integration through VMware Cloud on AWS.
