Enable the Alerts for vRealize Operations Manager

Use the built-in problem and alert signatures in vRealize Log Insight for vRealize Operations Manager. You create one instance of each alert in Region A and in Region B because the vRealize Operations Manager instance works in the context of both management and compute resources in each region. The SDDC also contains one analytics cluster that is failed over to Region B and you receive alerts only about it.

For monitoring the vRealize Operations Manager deployment in the Software-Defined Data Center, you can use the following alerts in vRealize Log Insight:

Table 1. vRealize Operations Manager Alerts in vRealize Log Insight

This error is due to intermittent connection issues with the vCenter and hosts or down to the network that is not able to handle the requests and is timing out.	Critical
