Alarm definitions - what level wins?

[sssstew]

If we have alarms defined at the virtual center level, then i went down and setup a new alarm at the resource group level which alarm is going to win here?

So say at the VC level the alarm says alert after high cpu for 60 mins, then at the resource group level i create a new alarm for alert after high cpu for 5 mins, which one of those is going to win and alert?

Thanks

I believe it follows the permission model - an alram assigned at a particular level will take precedent over the alarms that are inherited.

The alarms that has been set at the resource pool level will be applied in this case.

If there is no settings defined at this level then only the vCenter level Alarms will be applicable and triggered.
