Hello,
i need to setup alarms for datastore usage, but only on selected datastores in vcenter. I have a list of them in csv file with "warning" and "critical" percentage values (cca 600 datastores).
My idea was to create global alarm on vcenter server level which will be disabled in default and i will enable it for selected datastores via CLI (which is not problem, it works)
Problem is, that i need to setup different usage triggers for each datatstore and i did not found how to do that. I am able to add ie. special actions (SendEmail, or SNMPtrap) to this global alarm only for particular datastore in CLI, but cannot change percentage triggers.
Example:
datastore1 will be yellow, when usage will be above 60% and red when usage will be above 80%
datastore2 will be yellow, when usage will be above 90% and red when usage will be above 95%
.
.
and so on.
These different thresholds have roots in business requirements, so we cannot change them.
Thanks for any advice.
