New Resource Alarm
Resource alarms are used to monitor time-series data of resources within the platform. For example, you can set an alarm for the CPU usage of a virtual machine. If the CPU usage exceeds 80% and persists for 5 minutes, it will trigger a system alarm.
Before You Begin
- 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.
