        How to Exclude a Virtual Disk from the View

        There may be virtual disks under your hypervisor for which you don't need monitoring and which may add unnecessary data to your view.

        To exclude any virtual disks from monitoring:

        1. In the organization tree, right-click the hypervisor whose virtual disks you want to exclude from this view's data and select Properties.
        2. In the Excluded Virtual Disks field, specify the virtual disks that you want excluded from monitoring. Separate multiple values with a comma. You can also use an asterisk * as a wildcard value.
        Note

        This field appears only for those hypervisors that have virtual disks.

        1. Reconnect to the hypervisor for the changes to take effect.
