I'm using the alert manager to generate an alert for a volume object and I am trying to limit the alert to triggering on volumes that are very specific to the type mounted on an ESXi host. The same single volume can be mounted on multiple ESXi hosts and I do not want the alert to trigger for each host that contains it. If the condition is true for one, its true for all so I only want one alert. However, the alert trigger pictured geneartes the same alert across multilpe nodes even though there is no node predicate. Why? Perhaps because every volume attached to a node has a unque ID relative to the node, hence multiple objects with the same display name? What must I do to trigger this alert on just one instance of that volume object? Is custom SWQL (Distinct) my best option here or maybe I need to pick one VolumeID? That's probably not a good idea since it could go away on on that particular node.
