Monitor Events, Tasks, and Alarms

You can monitor a global collection of events, tasks, and alarms from all the recovery processes for all plans and other system events.

For those events and alarms more important than others and require attention, VMware Live Cyber Recovery sends email alerts for users whose email addresses were added to the dialog box.

• Events. An event is an indication of activity on a protected site. Events represent the full set of observations and issues raised by VMware Live Cyber Recovery. Events can provide information or they can describe a situation that requires attention or action.

  When a plan is started and recovery begins, events are populated on the plan details page for the current run of the plan. Each event signifies an action within the substeps in the recovery process.

• Tasks. Tasks are operations either in progress or completed, and include things such as the running of a recovery plan, a snapshot, deploying a new recovery SDDC, and more.
• Alarms. An alarm indicates an outstanding issue that requires attention. Alarms are triggered by events. VMware Live Cyber Recovery displays these notices in the Alarms section which remains visible until you cancel them. The system retains a maximum of 100 active alarms at any given time. If the maximum is exceeded, the system automatically clears the oldest alarms.
