Veeam VMware: vCenter Stats Monitor Service Health Alarm

This monitor tracks the vCenter Stats Monitor Service Health Alarm.

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

  • vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent: Health status of the vCenter Stats Monitor Service changed.

The vCenter Stats Monitor Service (VMware Appliance Monitoring Service) is responsible for collecting CPU, memory and other vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface statistics required to view the vCenter Server Appliance health status. If the vCenter Stats Monitor Service Health Alarm fires, check whether the VMware Appliance Monitoring Service is running. In case the service is stopped, try starting it again. For more information on stopping, starting and restarting vCenter Server 6.x services, see this VMware KB article.
