Fine tuning reports/metrics

Hi

I like the Idle VM report, but I want to modify the threholds,  so that for example I am only reporting on VMs that have 99% or higher CPU idle,  rather than (whatever?) is set as the default.

I've gone down to the area of cloning the "Idle Virtual Machines" view - at this point you can see that the machines to include in report and being filtered by "Metric > Summary | Is Idle > = "1"

So I then go to the Metric / Supermetric Sympton Definitions area to see if I can clone that metric and set a new threshold. - I look for the metric and find i,  but there's not really much I can change here?

"Virtual machine is idle > is "info" when metric IS "1"

And this is of a type "static thereshold" - I've kind of followed this rabbit hole as far as I can.  Is it possible to set these up at all?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

You need to adjust the active+assigned policies to that object if you want to adjust what VMs are considered "idle".
