Try this to get you started.

Create Dashboard, select Alert List.

Edit Widget

Under Output Filter, Basic, select Object Types.

Select Virtual Machines

This will give you alerts for all VMs.

Then under the Advanced Section, you can filter by additional Object Type Info.

Also, under the Alert Related section, you can filter by Alert Type, Status, Criticality, etc. You may want to start here after you set the Basic settings.

When you selected Virtual Machine under Basic > Object Type, was there a number after it?

Ex. VIrtual Machine (225)

If there is a zero (0), try selecting other Object Types that have a number after them.
