Lately I have been writing on a variety of topics regarding the use of VOBs (VMkernel Observations) for creating useful vCenter Alarms such as:
- Handy VSAN VOBs for creating vCenter Alarms
- How to create vCenter Alarm to alert on ESXi 5.5u1 NFS APD issue?
- How to automatically monitor VSAN Component threshold using a vCenter Alarm?
- Detecting A Duplicate IP Address For Your ESXi Hosts Using a vCenter Alarm
- Detecting ESXi Remote Syslog Connection Error Using a vCenter Alarm
I figure it would also be useful to collect a list of all the vSphere VOBs, at least from what I can gather by looking at /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/extensions/hostdiag/locale/en/event.vmsg on the latest version of ESXi. The list below is quite extensive, there are a total of 308 vSphere VOBs not including the VSAN VOBs in my previous articles. For those those of you who use vSphere Replication, you may also find a couple of handy ones in the list.
