Notification when Hyper-V VM State changes

Votes:

0

I am trying to setup PRTG to notify me via email whenever the state of any Hyper-V VM changes.

Regardless of what the state change is, I would like to be notified when it changes.

So if it is powered on, and then suspends, I want to be notified. If the VM changes from being suspended/paused to powered on, I want to be notified.

Thanks,

Tim Smoot

Dear Smooter

Please create a state trigger notification on the PRTG device on which you have your Hyper-V VM sensors.

Please set a notification for both "Down" status, as well as for "Condition clears" status.

Since the VM sensor will go down when the VM is powered off, you get a notification when it is powered down, and through the "Condition clears" notification a message when the machine is up again.
