VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 37

An active policy has been enabled with this alert definition:
"Virtual machine CPU usage is at 100% for an extended period of time."
This is causing alerts to be triggered frequently by test/development VMs, so the administrator would like to exclude alerts triggered by the test/development VMs, but not other VMs.
Which action would help achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Create a policy inherited from the current active policy, set the alert definition state to "Disabled", and then assign to test/development VMs.
• B. Under Alerts, select Alerts Definitions, and then remove the Symptoms Definition.
• C. On the Environment tab, select all test/development VMs, and then unassign the active policy that is currently assigned to the test/development VM.
• D. Under Alerts, select Alerts Definitions, and then set the alert definition to "Disabled" for test/development VMs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because unassigning the active policy from the test/development VMs will prevent them from triggering alerts without affecting the other VMs. Option A would not help since it disables the alert but still keeps the policy active for those VMs. Option B does not address the specific VMs, and option D would disable the alert for those VMs but still keep the policy assigned, which is not the desired outcome.
