Excludes over-sized analysis
Select if your company policy allows the existence of over-sized virtual
machines in your environment. For example, if you provision certain virtual
machines with enough resources to cover the highest possible workload,
these machines might be considered as over-sized when the workload is
normal. You can create a separate group for such highly-provisioned
machines and assign the Excludes over-sized analysis policy to the group,
so that these machines will not be included in calculating the values for
capacity-related badges.
