Hi Team,
We are monitoring VMWare ESXI Hosts, and we can see datastore information under the ESXI host page, but is there a way to set up an alert if the datastore connectivity is lost.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Bhati ,
I think you can add the extension "VMware (remote monitoring)" from Hub to your environment to get metrics related to datastore information. And then you can create a metric event associating it to an alerting profile and a notification.
If you would haven´t DDUs availabled to add the extension, maybe you could use the builtin metric "builtin:cloud.vmware.hypervisor.availability" for creating a metric event to alert vmware connectivity.

Hi Archana,
To Dynatrace triggers an alert you have to configure a metric event using the desired metric.
Here you have an example of metric event configuration:
On "Feature Sets" in this link https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/detail/vmware-remote-monitoring/ you can see the metrics related to datastore you can use.
I hope it helps you.
Regards,
Elena.
