VEAAM ONE exclude VM to appear in alarm list

VEEAM ONE is a great to monitor and troubleshoot virtual infrastructure. However it needs slightly improvements. Lets say we have datacentre with hundreds of VMware virtual machines. Not all of them needs to monitored. To avoid lot of useless info in alarms some vm need to be excluded. First you need to instruct VMware admins to add some extra prior name of virtual machine. Lets say production machine are DC, copy are zzzDC, test machine are testDC. First I tried to exclude them manually and discovered- new vm's are created almost every day. So to avoid machines with zzz and test as well as auto genereted vm replicas to appear in VEEAM ONE reports, you need to open Veem One Business View Console as Administrator. Go to Configuration> Groups> Sample Business View Category> Grouping Expression and edit given expression.

CASE
WHEN IndexOf(Name, "replica") = 0  THEN "Test VMs"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 2) = "zz"  THEN "Test VMs"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 4) = "test"  THEN "Test VMs"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 1) < "a"  THEN "Other VMs"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 1) <= "I"  THEN "VMs from A to I"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 1) <= "R"  THEN "VMs from J to R"
WHEN LEFT(Name, 1) <= "Z"  THEN "VMs from S to Z"
ELSE "Other VMs"
END
You can call container as you like, zz could be "Johns test VM's". Excludes must be defined before all other machines or they will drop in appropriate Business machine containers.
Select Veem One monitor >Business View> Virtual Machines > Test VMs  where Test VMs is newly created container.
Click on Test VM's with right mouse button and select Alarms> Exclude .



On Defined Alarms window select all alarms upright and press OK below.

Machines you selected, will not appear in VEEAM ONE monitor console at all. You are done, now existing and newly created VM's wont appear in console and stop annoying you with meaningless alarms. Good luck with that!
