hello. We have tasks in vCenter which connects our storage into hosts and we would like to monitor those tasks if they failed. In vCenter they appear in task view on host with status if it was succeeded or failed, but inside Veeam Vmware event log on Collector server we have just information event ID 387 that task has been queued, without it is status.
Maybe any of you had similar requirement and configured it somehow already, any help appreciated. If there are some screenshots needed I can paste them.

Re: Alert for failed task on host
Hi,
You can expirement with EnableUncategorizedEvent Collector property - it will instruct Collector to post all events obtained from vCenter. You can check if there are any events you could use to trigger the monitor.
I'll also check on our side if such VM is present and can be used to create a vCenter Alarm. Once you have a vCenter alarm you can easily make a monitor for it in our MP. Starting with V8 Update 3 you can add custom alarm monitors from within SCOM Authoring console.
I'll get back to you with more details.

Re: Alert for failed task on host
Hi Again,
Is your task a scheduled one? I can see way more events for a scheduled task rather than for a manual, there simply could be no events for manual task to trigger the monitor or alarm.
I tried to get list of events from our 5.5 vCenter, using the following PowerCLI query
Here is what we have:

Code: Select all
$evt = get-view eventManager
$evt.get_Description() | select -expand Eventinfo | ? {$_.FullFormat -like "*task*"} | select Key,FullFormat
Code: Select all
