Description |
Allowed values |
---|---|---|
MovedThreshold |
Sets the number of polls before you clear a moved notification. |
Integer |
DeletedThreshold |
Sets the number of polls before you clear a deleted notification. |
Integer |

Boolean |
DisableEvents |
Set this attribute to TRUE if you want to disable events for the virtual machine. |
Boolean |
DisableVMToolsEvents |
Set this attribute to TRUE if you want to disable VMTools events for the virtual machine. |
Boolean |
IsAllVifUnreachable |
True if all ComposedOf VirtualInterfaces are unreachable. |
Boolean |
IsVMCPUOverused |
Indicates whether the CPU of this virtual machine is overused. A value of TRUE will generate the event VMCPUUsageAlarm. |
Boolean: TRUE, FALSE |
IsVMMemoryOverused |
Indicates whether the memory of this virtual machine is overused. A value of TRUE will generate the event VMMemoryUsageAlarm. |
Boolean: TRUE, FALSE |
MigrationFailureThreshold |
This attribute sets the number of polls before clearing a migration failure notification. |
Integer |
OrphanThreshold |
This attribute sets the number of polls before clearing an orphan notification. |
Integer |
RelocationFailureThreshold |
This attribute sets the number of polls before clearing a relocation failure notification. |
Integer |
RestartedFailureThreshold |
This attribute sets the number of polls before clearing a restart failure notification. |
Integer |
UnableToMigrate |
TRUE if this VM has encountered a migration issue. |
Boolean: TRUE, FALSE |
UnableToRelocate |
TRUE if this VM fails to relocate. |
Boolean: TRUE, FALSE |
ThresholdCounter |
This attribute sets the threshold for the instrumentation when a Delete or Add is detected. The instrumentation will decrement it during each poll. |
Integer |
vmDisplayName |
Display name from hypervisor for this virtual machine. |
String |
vmIFPhysicalAddress |
Physical address assigned to the virtual interface on the virtual machine by the hypervisor. |
String |
vmID_Discovered |
ID assigned to the virtual machine by the hypervisor during discovery. |
Integer |
VMotionDescription |
Describes the reason for the last vMotion event. |
String |
vmIPAddress |
Indicates the IP address of the virtual machine.
Note:
ESM adds the description tag Virtual Machine when it adds the IP address of a VM to the IP Manager Pending List. The IP server uses this description to identify the VM and sets the attribute HostType to VIRTUAL for Hosts. When HostType = VIRTUAL, then: Down problem for VM Hosts is suppressed in IP.Unresponsive event for VM Hosts is generated in IP. |
Integer |
VMToolsInstalled |
Indicates that the virtual machine has VM tools installed. TRUE if this virtual machine has VM tools installed. |
Boolean |
VMToolsStatus |
Indicates the status of the current version of VMware Tools in the guest Operating System, if known. |
Enum. Values can be:
|
VMToolsVersion |
