Alarm based on VM status

Hello

I have just started evaluating vFoglight to monitor our VMware infrastructure, and so far I really like the product, but there is a lot to take in.

Is there a predefined alarm that will raise and alert and email me if a vm crashes or goes offline? Will the default rule 'VMW Virtual Machine Power State Change' do this?  I get the impression this will tell me if the VM is shutdown, or restarted, but couldnt workout if it would flag up if a VM has frozen or crashed.

In the past I have done this using the basic 'no heartbeat alram' in vsphere.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Dan
