Issue/Introduction

When you log into Aria Operations 8.18 you see the following message: "Many out-of-the-box alerts have been deprecated. As a result, you may see alerts with a (DEP) prefix. Deprecated alerts have been replaced by a combination of new alerts and proactive dashboards such as vSphere Daily Check and Live! vSphere Cluster Performance. Deprecated alerts are still enabled in this version for comparison, but they will not be enabled by default in future versions."

Resolution

Here is the list of deprecated alerts and their associated new alerts:

  • Business Application: 3 alerts have been deprecated.

    Replacement Alerts: None



  • Tier: 3 alerts have been deprecated.

    Replacement Alerts: None


  • vSphere Cluster: 10 alerts have been deprecated.

    Replacement Alerts: 
    vSphere Cluster has CPU contention
    vSphere Cluster has memory contention
    vSphere Cluster CPU utilization has reached a critical level
    vSphere Cluster memory utilization has reached a critical level



  • ESXi Hosts: 3 alerts have been deprecated.

    Replacement Alerts:
    ESXi has CPU contention
    ESXi has memory contention
    ESXi host CPU utilization has reached a critical level
    ESXi host memory utilization has reached a critical level





  • Datastore: 2 alerts have been deprecated.
    Replacement Alerts: None
    Note: There is a mistake in the description as there is no replacement. Deprecated as it could misfire when VM virtual disks are not on the datastore. The metric used are generic at VM level, as opposed to specific virtual disk that resides on the datastore.
    If you need alert at this level, a possible workaround is to use datastore level metric. Take note it’s average of all its VMs.




  • Virtual Machine: 20 Alerts have been deprecated.

    Replacement Alert: VM experiencing CPU contention.


    Replacement Alert: VM CPU utilization has reached a critical level


    Replacement Alert: VM experiencing memory contention

    Replacement Alerts: 
    VM experiencing disk read latency
    VM experiencing disk write latency


    Replacement Alert: None. This is covered by daily check dashboard. Note: there is a bug in the description. Ignore the text Use the new alert "VM has been running on snapshots for days" as there is no such alert. 



  • Pod: 14 Alerts have been deprecated.
