To create and configure VMware alerts, use the Setup Monitoring Profile action. These alerts are members of VMware alert group. Thus, to setup VMware alerts:

Select the VMware server device;
Chose Setup Monitoring Profile item in context menu;
Check VMware item in Create Alert column;
When Configure VMware Alerts window appears, add one or more alert and specify their settings: name, description, type, virtual machine instance an alert should apply to, and setup parameters (refer to the corresponding alert section for specific details).

Note, that providing a name equal to a name of some existing alert, you do not actually create a new alert, but rather add a trigger to that existing alert. If you want to create a new alert, be sure to provide a unique name.

You can administer alerts and their triggers using generic AggreGate tools, as described in Alerts section.
