I am looking out to apply the same for Infrastructre Rules also.

HI Raghavendra,

Do you have Windows System agent/ Infrastructure Agent actived on all your virtual machine?

-Lee

No. I activated it only for Physical Boxes. still I am able to see alerts from VMs.

I would really appreciate if anybody can help me in setting the Infrastructure rules only for physical boxes. I dont know how I can avoid windows VMs added under VMware Performance agent from Infrastructure.  I am seeing all the VMs under windows service in Infrastrucre dashboard now. I dont want any alerts to be generated for these VMs.

I badly need some champions help here:)

I believe you can set the alert to only work on hosts which are members of  the service called "With Agents" as displayed on the Hosts -> Hosts dashboard. 

This appears to be an FSMSystemService object type, under the Services group called 'User Host Groups' which returns the list you see in the small dropdown on the Hosts -> Hosts dashboard.

That's from a few min looking at the following dashboard: system:foglight_hosts.3  

and how it retrieves the displayed data.

That said, I suspect you could compare each host object to the membership in the 'With Agents' service, and decide whether to alert based on that.

Sadly, I'll have to get an assist on the actual method of doing this.  Or there may be a much easier way.

Thanks John. I am seeing my physical boxes under Hots-with agents. But still confused how to set alerts only for this for the Infrastructure and Hosts rules.

It would be really great if anybody found a way to set Host Rule alerts trigger for only Physical Boxes. I tried it by editing the rule scope with "Host where detail.topologyTypeName !like 'VMW%' AND os != \$null". But it didnt work. Or I may be wrong in putting it in the right place in the rule.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That part goes in the Rule scope.  You can then evaluate with the green check box to see if it excludes the hosts.  Also we will be sorting this out in a future release so that you don't have to do this manually.

Thanks Much Thomas. I will try this out.
