Setting Up Global Alerts

Alert management lets an administrator enter global settings for how alerts are stored for all vCenter instances.

To set up global alerts:

  1. Launch a browser window, and enter the Administration Console URL displayed in the vSphere vCenter Console tab for the virtual machine you want to configure or use the link from Dell Management Console > Settings page. The URL uses the following format and is case sensitive:

    https://<ApplianceIPAddress>

  2. In the left pane, click ALERT MANAGEMENT. To enter new vCenter alert settings, click Edit.

  3. Enter numeric values for the following items:

    • Current number of alerts

    • Maximum number of alerts

    • Number of days to retain alerts

    • Timeout for duplicate alerts (seconds)

  4. To save your settings, click Apply, or click Cancel to cancel.
