Exploring ControlUp’s Built-In Horizon Trigger

Posted on February 5, 2024

A user asked for more information about the built-in Horizon trigger in ControlUp. Another user clarified that it polls metrics related to the health of the Horizon API, which can be found in the Horizon SOAP API Explorer. The trigger has four states and can be found at https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/3bef9659-5a4d-4d48-a32b-ce82faab6504/9f1e76ea-df1c-47e8-a4a9-bfd7dc671d20/doc/vim25/vim25/Types/th.ConnectionServerHealth.ConnectionServerHealthInfo.html. The original user thanked the others for their help.

Looking for more information about this built-in Horizon trigger:

What metrics is it polling?


The horizon api reports if it’s healthy or not that’s what we pull. If you look at the horizon soap api Explorer you’ll see there’s a connectionserverhealth_get or list (might need a different underscore, this comes from the top of my head)


thx! Had an alert fire in the middle of the night:

Value changed from 3 to Unknown


not sure which is which atm but there are 4 states (0-3) incl UNKNOWN https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/3bef9659-5a4d-4d48-a32b-ce82f[…]th.ConnectionServerHealth.ConnectionServerHealthInfo.html


TY! that helps!
