I... seemed to infer from your message you only wanted one of these 2 ...?

So you think I should create 2 CPU alert checks then?

One for the host machines

One for the VMs?

So why not exclude the VMs from the CPU alerting checker's device or entity match? ;-)

I guess it also depends on the virtualization tech used (if you can't distinguish by hostname), but for example many of my VMs have "QEMU Virtual version 1.0" as description for the CPU, which I could exclude.

Hi,

I have a similar issue at the moment with notifications for High CPU usage

We monitor a VM which has high CPU, but we also monitor the VM host machine which has high CPU because of that VM

And im getting double notifications for the high CPU usage

It would be handy to say dont send alerts for high cpu usage for the VM as the host machine will send the alerts for high cpu usage
