    Mail :

    +To: VMWare Alerts+
    +Subject: [VMware vCenter - Alarm Health status changed alarm]
    vsphere01.bolton.ac.uk (vCenter) status changed from green to yellow+
    +Target: Datacenters+
    +Stateless event alarm+
    +Alarm Definition:+
    +([Event alarm expression: Status change])+
    +Event details:+
    +vsphere01.bolton.ac.uk (vCenter) status changed from
    green to yellow+
    There are no errors in the 'tasks and events' tab on the datacenter (in the same way that there is for an alarm triggered by a VM going high CPU). 
    I can't see a trigger matching the content of this alert email? 
    When can I see old logs? vpxd.log?

    Seems to be a bug regarding this one: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1312808#1312808

    Check whether your vCenter is up-to-date, maybe this issue is already solved.

    Thanks.

    I haven't gone to U1 yet, but that thread doesn't say that U1 resolves it.

    For now I've followed the workaround of removing the email action from the Health Status Change definition. But now we won't be alerted if the a genuine problem occurs. :|
