Hi,
I have a case were I'm trying to group and make alerts on VMs that run in the wrong datacenter.
We have two datacenters and we want to make compliance alerts on a group of VMs.
Our VMs have a common naming model with a sequence number at the end.
VMs with odd sequence numbers shall run in datacenter 1 and VMs with even sequence number shall run in datacenter 2.
Our ESXi hosts have a specific number in their naming conventing that tells us the site. Eg. pse1.... & pse2...
To group the VMs I want to compare the VM sequence number with the site number on the ESXi host.
If a VM with an odd sequence number runs on an ESXi host with "2" as the site number, the VM becomes a member of the Custom group and gets a Compliance alert.
If a VM with an even sequence number runs on an ESXi host with "1" as the site number, the VM also becomes a member of the Custom group and gets a Compliance alert.
In vROps it seems like you only can use a regular expression to create symptoms, but not in a custom group.
How can I make a custom group and an alert that are able to include VMs with odd and even numbers in their names and compare them with the parent host name?
