Document URL: http://manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/doc-Monitoring_Alerts_and_Reporting/miq/#_to_create_a_hardware_reconfigure_alert Section Number and Name: 6.3. Creating a Hardware Reconfigured Alert Describe the issue: If you create a hardware reconfigured alert it won't triggered without some additional preparations which are not described in the documentation. Suggestions for improvement: The documentation should notice that drift history is required for hardware reconfigured alerts. Additional information: Required steps for triggering hardware reconfigured alerts based on CPU Count: 1. Run VM smart state analysis. 2. Change CPU count. 3. Run VM smart state analysis again. 4. Run Vm reconfigure again. Then the alert for CPU count change should be triggered. It is either CPU increased or decreased depending on what has been done in your step 2, not the result of step 4. Step 4 is just to trigger the event. More information here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392964
