I'm new on vsphere and I have an important question. Is there a section where I can set parameters that allow a vsphere to send me notifications/email when a condition happens?
For example when a virtual machine cpu usage go over a value that I have set as 'alarm value' or when a virtual machine disk space usage go over a value vsphere send an email/notification that inform me.
I try to navigate over the menu but I don't find anything like this.

can I use an external app?

Haven't done it myself but according to the documentation:

  1. In the Actions tab of the Alarm Settings dialog box, click Add to add an action.
  2. In the Actions column, select Send a notification email from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the Configuration column, enter recipient addresses. Use commas to separate multiple addresses.

If you're not familiar with alarms at all you may want to take a look at their Alarm Example.

  • That's explained better that I can in the [Access Alarm Settings](https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.solutions.doc_50/GUID-225780B0-E974-4D4F-8078-52EDD5EDBFFC.html) step of their example. – frostmatthew May 25 '15 at 13:01
