Figure 9 Events and Alarms settings pane in Web client
2.2 Chassis Events View
Chassis Events and corresponding Alarms are shown at vCenter Level, both in the vSphere web
client and in the classic desktop vSphere client.
To view the Events for Chassis in the web client, select vCenter in left pane and then select a
specific vCenter and click on Monitor. From here, select Events tab. Alternatively, from the Home
tab of the web client, click on Event Console under Monitoring section.
Chassis events details include Message, Chassis Name, Location and Chassis IP.
In an environment that contains multiple vCenter instances sharing common SSO (Single Sign-on),
the chassis events are shown in the event console of all vCenters; depending upon the event
posting level set for each vCenter.
For Example, if there are 2 vCenter instances sharing the same SSO, and the event posting level is
set to ‘Post all Events’ in vCenter-1 and ‘Do not post any Events’ in vCenter-2, then the Chassis
events will be posted only under vCenter-1 event console.
