New Event Alarm

Event alarms are used to monitor predefined events within the platform. For example, a host disconnection event alarm will trigger a system alarm when the host becomes unreachable.

• ZSvirt provides system parameter functionality to globally control the default behavior of platform settings. You can customize parameters related to alarms within the system parameters. For more information, see System Parameters.
• Some alarm items require VMTools for monitoring and alerting. For more information about VMTools, see Virtual Machine VMTools.
