After contacting Support, I was able to get it working. I had to explicitly tell the report to include Models that are empty. Here's the query I ended up with to filter out VMs from report:

Thanks for the suggestions but I still don't see how this would work. (I guess I could just try it.) So with this suggested logic: Trigger alert when NOT ALL of the following apply Vendor is equal to Windows Contact is equal to DG_ITNetwork Contact is equal to DG_ITSystems If the node is Windows and there is no Contact,…

I opened a Support case. I am using the "Model" field from System Inventory. It looks like what's happening is if I do a query like the pic below, the report filters out nodes with the specified Models correctly….but it also filters out nodes whose Model is empty. Which is why the node I mentioned earlier is getting left…

Thanks. It looks like excluding Virtual Machines and VMware Virtual Platform Models effectively filters out my VMs. However, I've noticed that this report leaves out a lot of other nodes for some reason. I have lots of physical nodes that don't make it into this report. I would have expected that a selection that includes…

Hmm... I guess I'm having trouble with the logic. Is this what you're suggesting? Trigger alert when NOT ALL of the following apply Vendor IS NOT EQUAL to Windows Contact IS NOT EQUAL to DG_ITNetwork... Contact IS NOT EQUAL to DG_ITSystems... If it was a Windows node, and it had "DG_ITNetwork..." as a Contact (but not…

Well, after backing out the exclusions for Virtual Machines and VMware Virtual Platform models, this node does show back up in the report. That node is definitely not a VM so adding this exclusion is definitely doing something that I don't understand.
