how to limit what vCOPs monitors
Hi All,
I was wondering if it was possible to modify what vCOPs can monitor? We currently have a 75 VM licence but over 75 VM's. Not all VM's are required to be constantly monitored for performance so i was hoping there was a way to only monitor a certain subset of them.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your feedback.
The reason the answers got a 'C' grade was that they didnt answer the question with the best solution.
Here is a copy of the solutions i managed to find online that wouldve gotten a higher grade. I apologise for not adding this to my response before grading.

No problem. I can appreciate that. I will be more mindful in the future. Now that i understand the grading system, i will be able to provide grades correctly based on this information.
The answers only addressed the fact that our current licence schedule is inadequate and since i had pointed out that i did not need to monitor all VM's, i didnt think that i should have to increase our VM licences at this time. As stated, i was looking for a solution that would allow me to monitor only our critical servers without having to spend any money.
I will grade the answers accordingly.
