2V0-32.24 Question 197
Select 3You are a cloud administrator managing a VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) deployment for your organization. A critical application hosted on your private cloud frequently encounters bottlenecks, but the operations team is not receiving timely notifications. You decide to configure alerts and notifications. Which steps should you take to ensure the team is notified when CPU usage exceeds 90% for more than 5 minutes?
- A
Create a symptom definition for CPU usage > 90% with a time duration of 5 minutes.
- B
Create an alert definition that triggers when the CPU usage symptom is met, and associate it with the affected object type.
- C
Configure an action for the alert definition to automatically restart the affected virtual machine.
- D
Set up a notification rule to send an email to the operations team when the alert is triggered.
- E
Enable the default notification rule in the vROps instance to handle all alerts.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To ensure timely notifications for critical application bottlenecks, you must first define the conditions that identify the issue (symptom definition). Then, you associate these conditions with an alert definition to track the affected object type. Finally, you configure a notification rule to inform the operations team when the alert is triggered. Configuring an unrelated action or relying on default notification rules is insufficient for this specific use case.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. A symptom definition is required to specify the condition (CPU usage > 90% for 5 minutes) that will trigger the alert.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. An alert definition ties the symptom to an actionable event and associates it with the relevant object type (e.g., virtual machines).
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. While actions can be configured for alerts, restarting a virtual machine may not be appropriate in this scenario as it doesn’t address the root cause of high CPU usage.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. A notification rule ensures that the operations team is informed when the alert is triggered, enabling timely action.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. The default notification rule may not be sufficient as it is generic and not tailored to the specific alert and team in question.
