More policy same object

[FromRome77]

Hi all.

It's possible to have more policy with filter group but specify object can stay in more policy? For example i have one policy for power off virtual machine and another policy with snapshot age. When i apply one of this policy in custom group i can't use another policy with another custom group if one virtual machine stay in both of themgroup. I see that this virtual machine stay in only one policy.

Thanks.

In the finaly i want create more policy for exlude specific alarms. In each one i specify a custom group. In custom group i insert a specify virtual machine.If one virtual machine stay in two policy the same can receive settings only from one policy. In the inventary i view only one policy associated a virtual machine.

Thanks

There are multiple policies that might apply to an object, the policy with the highest priority will take precedence. The default policy has the lowest priority

I know. But if a vm stay in policy with priority 1 the same vm not receive policy with priority 2. If i remove the same vm from custom group in policy with priority 1 the same vm can receive policy with priority 2.

This is correct.

If in policy 1, your object matches or alerts, it will stop checking for addtional matches on the same condition. If the object does not matching anything in policy 1, then it will then try and match a condition in policy 2.

In your policy 1, I would advise that you create that for a specific set of conditions and/or objects. That way only the objects or conditions you want to treat differently will match.

As I have explained you earlier, if an object is part of 2 policies importance or priority will be given to highest priority policy.

Object will not work on both policy, it works on one which is picked on precedence.
