The NSX Manager in your VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC provides alarms to call your attention to events that can potentially affect performance and system operation. Alarms provide detailed event information such as which component is affected, the type of event, and then recommends a corrective action.
An alarm can be in one of the following states:
See
NSX Alarms Catalog for VMware Cloud on AWS for a list of all
NSX events and alarms supported by
VMware Cloud on AWS.
State | Description |
---|---|
Open | Alarm is in an active, unacknowledged state. |
Acknowledged | Alarm has been acknowledged by a user. The alarm remains open but no longer appears in the NSX Manager notifications. |
Suppressed | Status reporting for this alarm has been disabled by the user for a user-specified duration. |
Resolved | Alarm has been resolved, whether by the system or through user action. The alarm will continue to appear in the alarm table in the Resolved state for up to eight days, after which it automatically deletes. (The system may delete resolved alarms earlier to accommodate resource needs.)
Note: If a user changes an alarm state to Resolved but the condition that triggered the alarm is not resolved, a new alarm instance will be instantiated. Also, an event may be resolved for several minutes before the reported state updates in the interface.
