Delete a Resource
If you do not need a resource, you can delete it.
Procedure
1 Select Environment > Environment Overview.
2 On the List tab, select one or more resources to delete.
You can press Ctrl-click to select multiple individual resources or Shift-click to select a range of resources.
3 Click the Delete Resource icon on the top of the list.
4 Click Yes on the confirmation window to delete the resource.
Each resource that you selected is marked for deletion and locked. Resource deletion occurs in the background
and might take a few seconds or longer, depending on the number of resources that you are deleting.
Change the Default Settings for a Resource Kind
Most or all resources of a particular resource kind typically use the same attribute package and super metric
package. You can set the default packages to use for a resource kind and specify whether resources generate
early warning smart alerts and use dynamic thresholds by default.
vCenter Operations Manager uses the default values that you specify when you add a new resource of that
kind, either manually or through resource discovery. In most cases, you can change the default values when
you add or edit a resource. You cannot change the default super metric package for a resource during resource
discovery, but you can edit the resource after it is added.
Procedure
1 Select Environment > Configuration > Resource Kind Defaults.
2 Select the adapter kind that contains the resource kind for which you want to set defaults from the Adapter
kind drop-down menu.
3 In the list on the left, select the resource kind.
4 Select the default attribute package from the Attribute package drop-down menu.
5 Select the default super metric package from the Super Metric package drop-down menu.
6 Select the Enable or Disable check box to specify whether resources generate early warning smart alerts
and use dynamic thresholds by default.
7 Click OK to save your changes.
