Veeam ONE offers the following types of alarm rules for Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure objects:
Host
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some host-related event is generated. |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed. |
Windows Server service state | An alarm is triggered if the state of the specified service reports to be equal or not equal to a specific state value for a specified time (for example, if a service is paused for 10 minutes). |
Power or connection state changes | An alarm is triggered if the host state reports to be equal or not equal to a specific state value (for example, if the Hyper-V host is not responding). |
Resource usage is out of allowed range | An alarm is triggered if the specified counter is above or below the specified threshold value (for example, if the Total Run Time exceeds 75%). |
Virtual Machine
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some VM-related event is generated (for example, if the MAC address of the VM conflicts with the MAC address of another VM existing in the virtual infrastructure). |
Snapshot age for Hyper-V VM has exceeded the configured threshold | An alarm is triggered if the current snapshot is older than a specified number of hours. This rule helps monitor forgotten snapshots that are consuming valuable storage space and degrading performance of virtual machines. |
Snapshot size for Hyper-V VM is out of allowed range | An alarm is triggered if the size of the VM snapshot is above or below the specified threshold value. You can choose to specify the size of the snapshot as an absolute value (for example, if the snapshot size exceeds 5 GB) or a relative value (for example, if the snapshot size exceeds 10% of total available disk space). |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed. |
Resource usage is out of allowed range | An alarm is triggered if the specified counter is above or below the specified threshold value (for example, if the Guest Run Time level exceeds 5%). |
VMs with no restore points | An alarm is triggered if the age of the latest backup or replica restore point for the VM has exceeded the threshold (that is, if there are no restore points for the specified RPO period). |
Cluster
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm will be triggered if some cluster-related event is generated. |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed. |
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some event occurs on Cluster Shared Volumes level. |
CSV is running out of free space | An alarm is triggered if free space on the CSV is above or below the specified threshold value. You can choose to specify the free space threshold as an absolute value (for example, if the CSV space should not fall below 10 GB) or a relative value (for example, if the CSV free space should not fall below 15% of total space). |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed. |
Resource usage is out of allowed range | An alarm is triggered if the specified counter is above or below the specified threshold value. |
Local Storage
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some storage-related event is generated. |
Hyper-V datastore is running out of free space | An alarm is triggered if free space on the datastore is above or below the specified threshold value. You can choose to specify the free space threshold as an absolute value (for example, if the datastore space should not fall below 10 GB) or a relative value (for example, if the datastore free space should not fall below 15% of total space). |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the state of another selected alarm is changed. |
Resource usage is out of allowed range | An alarm will be triggered if the specified counter is above or below the specified threshold value (for example, the average disk queue length exceed the threshold). |
Any object
Rule Type | Description |
Event-based rule | An alarm is triggered if some event is generated on any object. |
Existing alarm | An alarm is triggered if the status of another alarm specified in the settings is changed. |
Windows Server service state | An alarm is triggered if the state of the specified service reports to be equal or not equal to a specific state value for a specified time (for example, if a service is paused for 10 minutes). |
