Ok great I have it working now if I just want alerts from lets say a cluster or a vm itself what would I edit?

Thanks so I would add my email in here in user defined?

It’s odd that it asks for two @@ in the email. Any idea why? and thank again for the replies.

If you look at the Alarm message, you will see things like "Network Transfer Rate @transferRate b/s.

Network usage on virtual machine @name is outside the normal operating range."

"@ " is used to indicate Rule and Severity Level Variables,

Hence you need to specify double "@" to indicate that you want a literal "@" rather than a variable value.

Thanks but I don’t have “rules” after rules and notifications. I have rule management is this the screen?

Hi Scott,

Yes, that's the right dashboard.

b. Click on the rule to edit it.
c. Expand any/all of the Severity levels. Click the Action tab.
d. Select "EmailAction" from the Action dropdown. Click the Add button.
e. Change any of the Default values as required:

Thanks,

Check the below KB on how to scope a Vm(s) to a rule:

Thanks,

Just click on the rule name and it should take you into the rule to edit.

Yes, like previously said you need to  add the e-mail in the format:
myemailaddress@@domain.com -> Click Change.

Make sure you click Save on the Critical level, after all changes are done on the action parameter.

Thanks,
