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
