Alerts in
NSX-T

Alert definitions are combinations of symptoms and recommendations that identify problem areas in your environment and generate alerts on which you can act. You can import all
NSX-T
alerts into
vRealize Operations Manager
, allowing the users to manage and monitor these alerts from a single location. This integration between
NSX-T
and
vRealize Operations Manager
improves overall visibility and simplifies operations, making it easier to identify and address issues.
You can directly import alerts from VMware NSX (formerly known as VMware NSX-T) into
vRealize Operations Manager
by setting the
Import Alerts from NSX
field to
True
while configuring the
NSX-T
adapter instance. For details, see the topic 'Configuring the
NSX-T
Adapter' in the
VMware Aria Operations Configuration Guide
.
Depending on the number of alerts and the system's performance, importing the alerts into
vRealize Operations Manager
may take some time.
Importing alerts is not supported for NSX Integration through VMware Cloud on AWS.
