You can exclude multiple infrastructure objects or Business View groups from the assignment scope of an alarm:
- At the bottom of the inventory pane, click Infrastructure View, vCloud Director View, Business View or Data Protection View.
- In the information pane, open the Alarms tab.
- Select the necessary alarm in the list and do one of the following:
- Right-click the alarm and choose Edit exclusions from the shortcut menu.
- Click Edit exclusions in the Actions pane.
- In the Edit exclusions window, click the Add button and choose one of the following options:
- Infrastructure tree — choose this option if you want to select objects from the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. You can select specific objects that match the alarm type or choose parent objects (containers) from the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. For example, if you work with the alarm of the Virtual Machine type, you can exclude a specific VM, host, cluster and so on.
When you choose to exclude a virtual infrastructure container, all child objects within this container will be excluded from the alarm scope. For example, if you exclude a host from the Snapshot age alarm, all VMs running on the host will be excluded from the alarm scope.
- Business View — choose this option if you want to exclude categorization groups that you have previously configured in Veeam ONE Business View or objects from these groups.
For example, if you do not want to monitor resource usage for VMs that belong to the QA and RnD departments, you can group VMs by department in Veeam ONE Business View and then exclude QA and RnD VMs from alarm assignment scope in Veeam ONE Monitor.
- vCloud Director View — choose this option if you want to exclude objects from the vCloud Director hierarchy.
You can select objects that match the alarm type or choose containers from the virtual infrastructure hierarchy. For example, if you work with the alarm of the vCloud Director vApp type, you can exclude a specific vApp, organization VDC, organization or vCloud Director cell.
- Data Protection View — choose this option if you want to exclude objects from the Veeam Backup & Replication hierarchy.
You can select backup infrastructure objects that match the alarm type or choose containers from the backup infrastructure hierarchy. For example, if you work with the alarm of the Repository type, you can exclude specific repositories, Veeam backup servers or Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager.
- Repeat step 3 for all infrastructure objects or categorization groups you want to exclude.
- In the Edit exclusions window, click OK.
