Kevin, you are partially right as I found out yesterday. The vOPS team did a webex with me as it seems that when I installed vOPS exploerer and logged in for the first time, I was presented with an update. Well, the update was an upgrade to Standard. Suprise to all of us and they are looking into that. With that said, they enabled the alarms and configured everything... I just don't have anything to be alarmed about! As you can see from the next screen shot, the alarms are indeed enabled.  [IMAGE] The trend alarms are enabled as well. Some of this functionality they say will go away when my trial license is up for Server and things will roll back to Explorer. They were kind of perplexed at the upgrade and not update themselves. Be that as it may, I have a chance to play with some automation and present some good documentation and cost analasys for my management. More than I was expecting. Thanks fo much for jumping on and trying to give me a hand with this.   I even went one step further today and integrated it with AD for our Admin group and all involved are loving it now.   David
When I go to real time alarms I get ; No VKernel capacity alarms are active for this part of your environment at this time. In the window. However I don't see how I can configure these alarms. I know it sure would have been handy last night as one of our web servers went from 3MB or RAM to 8MB in less than an hour  and locked it up. It would have been nice to catch that.   Is there a process to enable real time alarms?
