Title
Alarms being received during a blackout for a specific VMWESXServer object -
Description
After configuring a blackout for a number of VMWESXServer objects (ESX hosts/servers), alarms are still firing for one ESX host during this blackout period.
-
Cause
During this time, this ESX host in question had been removed in the VMware environment. This can cause such an issue because the new ESX host will have a new object ID and (possibly) a new name. This will result in a new object within Foglight. -
Resolution
Ensure that no blackouts are scheduled for a particular ESX host that is scheduled to be removed from the VMware environment.
