2V0-21.23 Question 439

Select 4

You are tasked with creating a custom alarm in vSphere to monitor the CPU usage of a specific virtual machine (VM). The alarm should trigger a warning if CPU usage exceeds 80% for a sustained period of 5 minutes and a critical alert if CPU usage exceeds 90% for the same period. Which steps must you take to configure this custom alarm correctly?

  1. A

    Create a new alarm definition and associate it with the specific VM.

  2. B

    Set the alarm type to 'Virtual Machine' and the trigger to 'CPU Usage'.

  3. C

    Configure the warning condition as 'is above 80%' and set the duration to 5 minutes.

  4. D

    Configure the critical condition as 'is above 90%' and set the duration to 10 minutes.

  5. E

    Enable the alarm actions and assign notifications for both warning and critical conditions.

  6. F

    Apply the alarm definition to all objects in the vCenter Server inventory.

Explanation

To create a custom alarm for monitoring CPU usage on a specific VM, you must configure the alarm definition correctly: associate it with the target VM, set the appropriate alarm type and trigger, define the warning and critical conditions with correct thresholds and durations, and enable alarm actions with notifications. Associating the alarm with the entire inventory or using incorrect durations for the conditions would not meet the requirements.

  • A. Correct.

    Correct: You need to create a new alarm definition and associate it with the specific VM to ensure it monitors the intended object.

  • B. Correct.

    Correct: The alarm type must be set to 'Virtual Machine' since you want to monitor a VM's CPU usage, and the correct trigger is 'CPU Usage'.

  • C. Correct.

    Correct: The warning condition should be set to 'is above 80%' with a duration of 5 minutes to satisfy the requirement.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect: The critical condition requires a duration of 5 minutes, not 10 minutes, to meet the specified criteria.

  • E. Correct.

    Correct: Enabling alarm actions and assigning notifications ensures that alerts are sent when the conditions are met.

  • F. Incorrect.

    Incorrect: The alarm should be associated only with the specific VM, not the entire vCenter Server inventory.
