How to disable an alert for a single vm in vrealize

[bfuller1478]

We have recently virtualized our Veeam backup server.  Since we did this we are getting an alert for a drive on this server that says it is full.  The problem is that drive does not exist on the veeam server.  I am guessing that it might mount a temp drive while doing some of the backup routines.  Is there a way to basically ignore/stop that particular drive for this particular machine from alerting us?  We are running 4.7.

Thanks,

In vROps goto the Alert and goto the Alert Definition. You can adjust the Policy that it's using.

If you have to disable the alert only for a particular server you need to create a custom group with the VM's that you want to exclude from this alert.

Then create a custom policy with this alert disable and apply to the custom group
