Veeam VMware: vSphere Distributed Switch VLAN trunked status Alarm

This monitor tracks the vCenter Alarm 'vSphere Distributed Switch VLAN trunked status'.

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

  • vim.event.UplinkPortVlanTrunkedEvent: VLAN health check status of an uplink port is changed, and in the latest VLAN health check, all the VLANs are trunked by the physical switch connected to the uplink port.
  • vim.event.UplinkPortVlanUntrunkedEvent: VLAN health check status of an uplink port is changed, and in the latest VLAN health check, not all the VLANs are trunked by the physical switch connected to the uplink port.

For more information on enabling vSphere Distributed Switch health check in the vSphere Web Client, see this VMware KB article. For vSphere best practices on DVS configuration, see the official VMware vSphere Blog.
