Custom NFS Disconnect Alarm

[smackthat]

Hi...hopefully in the right community

Is there a way to create a critical alarm with SMTP alerting for this type of NFS disconnect entry\event from the vobd.log?

[vob.vmfs.nfs.server.disconnect] Lost connection to the server

VMware has built-in alarms for datastore connectivity issues.
You can configure these alarms in vSphere to notify you via email when a datastore gets disconnected.

In the vSphere Client, go to "Monitor" > "Alarms" for the host or datastore.
Create or modify an alarm with these settings:
Trigger: Datastore connection state changes to "disconnected".
Action: Send an email alert (SMTP must be configured in vCenter).

This won't directly monitor the vobd.log, but it will catch similar disconnect events that the hypervisor tracks.
