vFoglight Rule Definition Scopes

Hi,

Im attempting to customise a rule (VMware Cluster Percent Ready) so that it only fires for a particular cluster, not every cluster, does anyone know how to do this?? (see attached).

I presume i can type queries into the window in the 'rule scope' section to narrow the cluster search from all clusters to a particular one, but i dont know the syntax.

If anyone has a guide on the different query language that would also be great!

Thanks

    It's great that you copied your rule before attempting modifications; that's a best practice.

    You can use something like this to scope your rule to a specific cluster:

    VMWCluster where name = 'Austin'

    Whenever you modify your scoping query, make sure that you validate it by pressing the 'checkmark' icon on the right: that's another best practice.

    For detailed documentation and examples of scoping queries, check out the Query Language Tutorial, Query Language Examples and Topology Query Reference.
