The key 'disable_qos_and_alarms_for_maintenance_mode_hosts" on the vmware probe is set to true but I continue to receive an alarm on USM on a vm host in maintenance mode, is this expected behavior? the alarm does not show in IM but shows up in USM
According to this KB Document
Disable alarms and QoS from Maintenance mode Hosts
Scenario: As a Vmware administrator, I do not wish to see alarms or QoS data from host machines that are currently in maintenance mode.
Resolution: Starting from vmware v7.11, a new configuration property 'disable_qos_and_alarms_for_maintenance_mode_hosts' has been added in order to allow you to disable alarms and QoS from hosts that are in maintenance mode. The default value of this property is False.
To disable the alarms and QoS, follow these steps:
- Do one of the following:
- Navigate to Admin Console > Raw Configure > Setup, > config key 'disable_qos_and_alarms_for_maintenance_mode_hosts' and change the value to True.
OR
- Navigate to vmware probe in IM > right-click and select Configure > Setup, config key 'disable_qos_and_alarms_for_maintenance_mode_hosts' and change the value to True.
- Restart the probe.
You will no longer receive alarms and QoS from host machines that are in maintenance mode.
