Chapter 7. Events, Alarms, and Automated Actions

This chapter focuses on the monitoring options available in vCenter, including performance and storage monitoring, as well as possible response actions including e-mail alerts.

We will also discuss automation options, such as scheduled tasks and the Update Manager plugin, which can simplify patch management tasks.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Alarms and events

  • Monitoring host health, guest performance, storage usage, and snapshot size

  • Viewing and scheduling tasks

  • The Update Manager plugin—installation, baselines, scanning, and remediation
