In Infrastructure view you can create alarms for custom metrics on infrastructure elements. You can also create alarms for built-in metrics for deployed VMs that you can access through the infrastructure path of their providers.

To create custom metrics for infrastructure elements, including datacenters, racks, and physical machines, use the API. To automatically fetch metrics for all VMs, after you configure and enable monitoring for the platform, in Configuration view, set the Enable virtual machine monitoring by default property to true.

Create an alarm

To create an alarm:

1. Go to Infrastructure → Alarms and click the + button

The platform will create the alarm for the metric. If you would like the platform to notify you when this alarm activates, create an Alert for it in the Control view. You can create multiple alerts that include multiple alarms.
