In vCOps 5.8 I used attribute packages to differentiate between production and development machines on alerting and monitoring for disk space alarms. So if a production machine reached 95% utilization on a drive it would generate an alarm. I set this up in an attributed package and assigned it to production machines. I had a different attribute package assigned to development machines that would not create an alarm. So when a production machine exceeded the 95% threshold I would get an email indicating I needed to take action. I also had some different attribute packages assigned to some production machines that have chronically high disk space usage, but never reach the 100% utilization. These wouldn't alarm at the 95% threshold but maybe at the 99% threshold. In vROps I seem to have lost this ability which I'm not thrilled about. It doesn't appear that you can set different monitoring thresholds for different machines. So now after migrating to vROps I get alarms for development machines. Is there anyway to setup different monitoring thresholds for different machines. I know I could just put a development machine into permanent maintenance mode, but that doesn't really help me out with the ability to set different thresholds for production machines.
