Remove Alarms
You remove alarms from the object on which they were defined. You cannot remove an alarm from a child
object that inherited the alarm and you cannot remove the default VMware alarms.
When an alarm is removed, it is removed from vCenter Server and cannot be retrieved.
Required privilege: Alarm.Remove Alarm
Procedure
1 Display the object in the inventory.
2 Select the object and click the Alarms tab.
3 Click Definitions.
If the Defined in column does not contain This object for the alarm to disable, it was not defined on the
object selected in the inventory. To open the alarm definitions for that object, click the linked object in the
Defined in column.
4 Select the alarm and select Edit > Remove.
5 Click Yes.
Reset Triggered Event Alarms
An alarm triggered by an event might not reset to a normal state if vCenter Server does not retrieve the event
that identifies the normal condition. In such cases, reset the alarm manually to return it to a normal state.
Required privilege: Alarm.Set Alarm Status
Procedure
1 Locate the triggered alarm in the Triggered Alarms panel or on the Alarms tab for the object.
2 Right-click the alarm and select Reset Alarm to Green.
