2 Click the Alertstab.
3 In the Alerts list, click the compliance alert you are canceling.
You can press the Shift or Control key while you click to select multiple compliance alerts in the list.
4 Click the Cancel Fault or Compliance Alert button.
5 Click Yes to confirm.
The canceled compliance alert is removed from the Alerts list and vCenter Operations Manager updates the
Compliance badge score and the Risk score.
What to do next
Resolve the noncompliant rules for the virtual object. See “Resolve Non-Compliant Rules for Compliance
Templates,” on page 29.
