Using tasks, events and alarms in vCenter
Today I watched a video from the second DVD of the new Trainsignal’s vSphere 4 learning course. In this video David Davis explained to me what for are tasks, scheduled tasks, how to use them. Really cool stuff. I did not know that the configuration of SNNP inside vCenter was so easy….
Still inside of the Wired Brand coffee company (a fictif company just to present a real case scenario) I was taken to the Datacenter and all the clusters there. David shows some tricks with the filters in the task section.
Then very interesting par comes where David showed the SNMP traps and triggers, configuration of SMTP and alarms sent by e-mail from vCenter. When and how you can be alerted by e-mail about that something is going on in your Virtual Infrastructure.
Trainsignal and David Davis does great job with those videos. In easy and consistent case scenarios he takes you through the beginning up to the advanced tasks like Fault tolerance or DRS. Watch those free videos from the course.
