Viewing VMware Error Events

The VMware service module monitors for VMware critical and warning error events. The monitors are configured to display errors in the service module dashboards when an issue occurs that might require remediation, such as a failure to login.

Errors can be viewed for all sites, for a specific site and for a host machine.

To view errors across all sites

1. In Service Center, click Status > Service Modules.
2. In the VMware section, click the number link beside Error events (Last 7 days).

To view errors at a specific site

1. On the Central Dashboard, click the VMware icon  for a site.
2. In the Event Summary area, click the number link beside Errors.

To view errors for a host

You can view the errors discovered on a host device from both the Host Overview dashboard and the Guest Overview dashboard; when viewing the Guest Overview dashboard, the Host Error Events (Last 7 days) number reflects the number of errors detected on the machine hosting the guest device.

1. On the Central Dashboard, click the VMware icon  for a site.
2. Scroll down to the Hosts Summary table.
3. Click a host machine name.
4. Click the number below the Error Events (Last 7 days) heading.
