Configure Alerts and Schedule Virtual Environment Compliance Runs
To optimize how VCM monitors the compliance of objects in your environment, configure alerts and
schedule regular compliance template runs on your collected virtual environment data.
Prerequisites
Create at least on virtual environments compliance template. See "Create and Run Virtual Environment
Compliance Templates" on page 61.
Procedure
1. "Create Virtual Environment Compliance Alert Rules" on page 70
Alert rules are the conditions you define that determine when an alert is generated. Virtual
environment alert rules are based on virtual environment compliance templates.
2. "Create Virtual Environments Compliance Alert Configurations" on page 70
Virtual environment compliance alert configurations are created for virtual objects groups to generate
alerts when a virtual environment compliance template returns non-compliant results during
scheduled runs of the template.
3. "Schedule Virtual Environments Compliance Template Runs" on page 71
Schedule a regular run of your virtual environments compliance templates to ensure that the collected
data is regularly assessed for adherence to the defined compliance rules.
