I'm familiarizing myself with monitoring in vROPS. Among other things, I'm trying to sort out how to alert on VMs that are powered off but ignoring those that are legitimately powered off. We have some dashboards that have been created for us and we've been informed that we can create groups of resources that are excluded from the reporting. I'm curious about alerts and notifications, though. Is there a reasonable way to ignore VMs that might be powered off for good reason when generating alerts and sending notifications? Do the exclusion groups for dashboard reports also affect alerts and notifications?
