# Veeam VMware: vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service Health Alarm

This monitor tracks the VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service Health Alarm.

By default, the alarm is triggered by the following event:

- **vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent**: Health status of the VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service changed.

Check whether the VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service is running. If the service is stopped, try starting it again. For more information on stopping, starting, or restarting VMware vCenter Server 6.x services, see this [VMware KB article](https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/328099/stopping-starting-or-restarting-services.html). Try re-installing the Profile-Driven Storage Service. If the VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service fails to start, see this [VMware KB article](https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/336095/error-an-error-occurred-while-starting-s.html#:~:text=Caution%3A%20IO%20Filter%20providers%20will%20register%20back%20on,this%20Article%20ID%20%2878900%29%20in%20the%20problem%20description.) for additional troubleshooting guidelines.
