Hello Mike  The rulescope you are doing is looking at the actual logical disk name. It will filter out any logical disk with name xd-* What you want to do instead is to scope on VirtualMachine name.  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where virtualMachine.name ! like "xd-%"  Let me know how it works for you.  /Mattias
I have an alarm that I want to silence that is tied to the "VMW Virtual Machine Logical Drive Estimated Fill Time" rule.  We have a VDI environment that triggers this rule too often, and it does not apply.  I found a previous thread at: [URL] that talks about excluding a range of VM's from a rule, but I am not getting the expected results.  All of the VDI's have names that begin XD-, so I am trying to edit the Rule Scope to exclude those.  The following is the Rule Scope  as I have it now, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name ! like 'xd-%')  The Scoping Query Editor almost leads me to believe that the Toplogy that I need to use is the VM's GUID, but I find that hard to believe.  I have to think that the solution is easier than that.  Thanks for any help  Mike
