Description

In vSphere Client or Web Client, right click a ESXi, we can see Alarms. And we can "Enable Alarm Actions" or "Disable Alarm Actions". Is there any way to get this value? I want to know which ESXi server is "Disable Alarm Actions" and which is "Enable Alarm Actions". Please help, thank you so much.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by investigating the pyvmomi vSphere alarm APIs related to ESXi objects and compare them with the Alarm Actions controls in the vSphere Client; done means determining whether the enable/disable status is exposed and identifying the appropriate API path or documenting that it is unavailable.
