Re: Script to export Alarms from VCenter to analyze.

Hi James,

Here is the new version, find the attached below.

One thing to note is the script looks for only the alarms with Action set, i.e. SNMP, SendEmail...etc

$output = foreach ($alarm in (Get-AlarmDefinition | Sort Name | Get-AlarmAction))

{

    $threshold = foreach ($expression in ($alarm | %{$_.AlarmDefinition.ExtensionData.Info.Expression.Expression}))

    {

        if ($expression.EventTypeId -or ($expression | %{$_.Expression}))

        {

            if ($expression.Status) { switch ($expression.Status) { "red" {$status = "Alert"} "yellow" {$status = "Warning"} "green" {$status = "Normal"}}; "" + $status + ": " + $expression.EventTypeId } else { $expression.EventTypeId }         

        }

        elseif ($expression.EventType)

        {

            $expression.EventType

        }

        if ($expression.Yellow -and $expression.Red)

        {

            if (!$expression.Yellow) { $warning = "Warning: " + $expression.Operator } else { $warning = "Warning: " + $expression.Operator + " to " + $expression.Yellow };

            if (!$expression.Red) { $alert = "Alert: " + $expression.Operator } else { $alert = "Alert: " + $expression.Operator + " to " + $expression.Red };

            $warning + " " + $alert

        }

    }  

    $alarm | Select-Object @{N="Alarm";E={$alarm | %{$_.AlarmDefinition.Name}}},

                           @{N="Description";E={$alarm | %{$_.AlarmDefinition.Description}}},

                           @{N="Threshold";E={[string]::Join(" // ", ($threshold))}},

                           @{N="Action";E={if ($alarm.ActionType -match "SendEmail") { "" + $alarm.ActionType + " to " + $alarm.To } else { "" + $alarm.ActionType }}}

}

$output | Export-Csv alarm.csv -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation

Sample Output:

Hope this helps,

Steven.
