Как в vCenter включить отправку email оповещений для всех преднастроенных алармов (vmware enable all alarm definitions to receive email)

Если нужно сделать простой мониторинг инфраструктуры виртуализации штатными средствами VMware vCenter Server, то необходимо настроить email оповещения для преднастроенных событий (definitions).

Сделать это можно вручную, но vSphere 5.5 таких преднастроенных событий 66. Поэтому логично включить оповещения с помощью скрипта.


Подходящий скрипт я нашел на сайте fixingitpro.com для версии 5.1 и 5.0.
Поскольку в разных версиях vSphere, компания VMware  меняет названия некоторых преднастроенных событий (definitions), то скрипт вызывал ошибки при выполнении так, что пришлось его переделать под vSphere 5.5. Результат представлен ниже(я упростил скрипт в плане повторяемости событий, теперь все события сопровождаются отправкой только одного письма).
$user="administrator"
$pass="Passw0rd"
$vCenterServer="192.168.33.156"


$MailtoAddresses= "email1@email.com","email2@email.com"
