I am trying to create an alert for VM Max Disk Latency (ms), I went through configuring the alarm and all seemed good, but as soon as I hit "OK" my inbox was flooded with alert emails like the following:
##############################
Target: <computer_name>
Previous Status: Green
New Status: Yellow
Alarm Definition:
([Yellow Metric Is above 30KBps; Red Metric Is above 50KBps])
Current values for metric/state:
Metric Usage = 47KBps
Description:
Alarm Custom Alarm- VM DISK LATENCY' on <computer_name> changed from Green to Yellow
##############################
What is going on here? It's like values for the disk latency thresholds in milliseconds are actually configured as KBps I/O for the VMDK. All I could get with my Goole-Foo was some KB about disk latency alarms not triggering in vCenter/ESX versions prior to 4.1 U1, which does not pertain to this environment.
Has anyone seen this before/know how to get a VM Max Disk Latency (ms) to actually work?
