Forgive me, but I think that the a native alert system is better than just an external system via snmp. There are definitely services or states that are not handled by the snmp protocol. In any case, XOA is a great product, but without an email alert system it is like great food without salt.

RE: VDI disk limit 2TB - How to convert from vmware 7Tb?
Thanks a lot to everybody for the info and suggestions.
I think that the only way to convert safetly from vmware with any down is:- create a new iscsi disk connected to the vmware vm
- create mirror in windows server and wait for sync
- unmount bigdisk from vm
- proceed with import in xpc by xen orchesta
The real question is: will I be able to convince the customer to buy another storage unit since the current one is almost saturated?

RE: Health alerts/alarms
Good morning Oliver,
I think it is important to understand why the email alerts: the small companies we support and that now have virtualisation with vmware esxi are monitored with third-party tools that can be replaced by the fantastic XOA.
But there, we do not have any software such as Nagios, Prtg or anything else so the only method now working is email alerts.
Since it is our intention to migrate all vmware environments to xcp+xoa, it is useful to keep track of the various installations.
One example is to alert everything in XOA that is not green ... and that turns from green to yellow or red: the status of the licence when it is approaching expiry or has expired;
the status of vm's in case of blocking or overuse of available resources (CPU, Ram, etc), the status of network connections, the status of remote storage (SMB/ISCSI/NFS)
In short, anything that might alert an IT manager by e-mail.
I will be happy to test the new features in my lab
