We're attempting to configure outbound alerts from our vCOPS 5.7 instance to our SMARTS 9.2 setup. I've configured my alert handler and made the necessary change to the plugin.properties file on the vApp, however I'm encountering an issue. Our SMARTS monitoring pulls from several different monitoring tools, and as such there's a lot of overlap. This means I don't need to send alerts on every resource type that vCOPS is monitoring, but I don't see where in the process of defining your alerts you're able to specify a particular resource. It seems like you're able to just enable this default out-of-the-box alerts into an on or off state.
Say I only wanted to alert high CPU usage on my vCenter servers to EMC. It doesn't seem like I can do that without configuring that alert for my entire environment. Is this not the case? Am I missing something obvious?
