Not sure if anyone else has ever run into this but here's the scenario:
Running 22 Hosts that are a mix of esxi5.1 and 5.5
vCenter server 5.5 and client 5.5
I have an alarm set up at the top of the vCenter level (So it trickles down to all hosts) that is set up like this:
Under the General Tab:
Alarm Name: New VM Deployed
Alarm Type: Monitor : Virtual Machines
Monitor for specific events on this object
Under the triggers Tab / Event I have selected:
Creating VM
Deploying VM
VM Being Cloned
and VM Created
I have set no advanced conditions.
I have nothing entered in the Reporting Tab
In the Actions Tab I have send an e-mail notification
The alert works... about half the time. I can find no rhyme or reason for when it doesn't.
Sometimes I'll deploy an VM from a template and the alert triggers and sometimes it doesn't (Doing the exact same task)
Has anyone ever run into this or anything like it before?
