Particular embodiments provide a system comprising a cluster of host machines for managing communications in a virtualization environment. Each of the host machines may comprise a hypervisor, a user virtual machine (UVM), and an I/O controller. A virtual disk accessible by all of the I/O controllers may comprise multiple storage devices, wherein the I/O controllers conduct I/O transactions with the virtual disk based on I/O requests received from the UVMs. A management module may implement a monitoring policy of rules associated with an operating status of components of the virtualization environment. The management module may receive data associated with the operating status of the components. In response to determining that the data associated with the operating status of the components satisfies one or more of the rules in the monitoring policy, the management module may initiate an alert.

Alerts for a virtualization environment

In one embodiment, a system includes a cluster of host machines implementing a virtualization environment. Each host machine a hypervisor, a user virtual machine (UVM), a connection manager, an I/O controller, and a virtual disk. The virtual environment may include storage devices and may be accessible by all of the I/O controllers. A management module of the virtualization environment may display a graphical user interface that includes an alert rule configuration interface, which may be operable to configure one or more alert policies each associated with an operating status of a component of the virtualization environment. The management module may receive inputs associated with the alert policies. The management module may update the alert policies in accordance with the inputs.
