Veeam VMware: vCenter Server Health Alarm
This monitor tracks the vCenter Server Health Alarm.
By default, the alarm is triggered by the following event:
- vim.event.HealthStatusChangedEvent: Health status of the vCenter Server changed.
Check that vCenter Server database has enough space. For more information on managing vCenter Server database requirements, see this VMware KB article.
Check whether the vCenter Server vpxd service is running. If the service is stopped, try starting it again. For more information on stopping, starting, or restarting VMware vCenter Server 6.0 services, see this VMware KB article.
