This is extremely useful! I have been asking our internal SQL DBA to write some Queries from the events database to trigger email alerts on some View events that are critical (like the view VC service fails or composer, etc). That type of built in alerting should have been built into View 3.X! Thanks for your efforts. I will say I had opened a support ticket with VMWare just a few weeks ago and we have production 4 hour support and I asked Support if they could provide some sample PowerCLI scripts or SQL queries into the Events Database for our Horizon View 5.3 instance and support said that’s not in their scope of support, VMWare only helps to make sure events are recorded in the SQL database, they cannot help pulling any information out of it or setting alerts on it. I wish I would have seen this sooner and I think the Support staff should be made to keep an eye out on Flings like this :)
Thanks,
