Issue/Introduction

  • How can we stop/disable notifications appearing in Smarts Service Assurance Manager (Smarts SAM) for Virtual Machines that have been powered off?
  • Can we unmanage VMs in ESM so that notifications will not appear in Smarts SAM for VMs that have been powered off?
  • Notifications are appearing in Smarts SAM for Virtual Machines that have been powered off.

Environment

All Supported Smart versions 

Resolution

It is not possible to unmanage VMs in ESM. However, it is possible to disable notifications from a VM using the following dmctl command:

./dmctl -s <ESMDomainName> put VirtualMachine::<VMInstanceName>::DisableEvents TRUE

When this command is run, existing notifications for this VM will disappear from SAM and no further notifications will be generated.

Once the VM is powered on again, you can re-enable notifications as follows:

./dmctl -s <ESMDomainName> put VirtualMachine::<VMInstanceName>::DisableEvents FALSE
