About events and alarms for chassis

The events and alarms corresponding to a chassis are shown only at the vCenter level. The events and alarms settings for hosts at every vCenter is also applicable at the chassis level. You can edit events and alarms settings from OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter within the Manage > Settings tab. From here, you can select the event posting level, enable alarms for Dell EMC hosts and chassis, or restore default alarms. You can configure events and alarms for each vCenter or for all registered vCenters at once.
