VmWare vSphere: send automatically mail/notification on event

I'm new on vsphere and I have an important question. Is there a section where I can set parameters that allow a vsphere to send me notifications/email when a condition happens?
For example when a virtual machine cpu usage go over a value that I have set as 'alarm value' or when a virtual machine disk space usage go over a value vsphere send an email/notification that inform me.
I try to navigate over the menu but I don't find anything like this.

can I use an external app?

Solution

  • Haven't done it myself but according to the documentation:

    1. In the Actions tab of the Alarm Settings dialog box, click Add to add an action.
    2. In the Actions column, select Send a notification email from the drop-down menu.
    3. In the Configuration column, enter recipient addresses. Use commas to separate multiple addresses.
