If you are using Windows events to trigger notifications it may be helpful to monitor Virtual Appliance Event ID's.
The following event ID's can be generated in Windows Event Viewer.
11001 - Virtual Appliance not powered on - the VA is not powered on
11002 - Virtual Appliance connection failure - vRanger cannot connect to the VA. Verify the IP and credentials are correct.
11003 - Virtual Appliance credential context failure - should never occur, it is a just incase scenario
11999 - Virtual Appliance monitor unknown failure - a problem occurred while the VA monitor is running.
11998 - VA return to normal
NOTE: Make sure no vRanger tasks are running when performing these steps.
