Creation of a monitoring pack consists of two main steps:
- Defining new events. Newly created monitoring policy contains inherited alerts only.
- Defining data collection for reporting. You can add predefined reports available in ESX/ESXi tab of the Add Report window or create custom reports using ESX performance counters.
