Re: Alert emails for Azure Stack HCI health issues?
Darryl van der Peijl I do not want a "turn key monitoring solution" and my original post does not ask for that. A "turn key monitoring solution" sounds like I am asking for Microsoft to build some big new software solution. I am not. I am just asking for a tiny extension for - for example - Windows Admin Center. The Hci OS already knows when health faults occur. And it already has a Powershell and a C# API. And Microsoft already uses that API in Windows Admin center to DISPLAY any CURRENT health faults at the dashboard page. Like this: All it needs to do is send an email when it is about to display a new message here. To me, it is beyond belief that Azure Stack HCI was launched without this essential functionaliy built in. And no thanks: I do not want to setup a complele crazy animal like SCOM and manage it just for this. I did that with our old S2D cluster, but SCOM feels like something from the early 2000's that was designed for giant corporations with a full time admin just for running it.Alert emails for Azure Stack HCI health issues?
How do I set up alert emails, when the HCI cluster generates a health fault - like a volume running low on available space? I am running Hci OS 22H2 and using WAC with the Dell plugin to manage. I mean: If I had nothing else to do all day and night, I could sit and stare at WAC and I am sure that something would pop up. But that is not practical. Emails are practical.Re: Alert emails for Azure Stack HCI health issues?
Darryl I've looked at this before and it does not provide email alerts for new health faults. Azure Stack HCI Insights - your first link - is one more dashboard full of endless information, which I am sure is good for some. It does not do email alerts. Your second link requires me to learn a strange new query language in order to be able to get the alerts I want. First of all, I do not want to learn that language. Second, I should not need to make decisions on my own about which alerts to get. Microsoft has already decided what constitutes a Health Fault, and that is what I want alerts for. Nothing else. So I just want an email whenever Get-HealthFault returns a NEW fault. See this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/manage/health-service-faults.
