This parameter allows you to include one or several events for monitoring. For the list of vCenter Server events, see Veeam MP Reference. To separate multiple event IDs, use pipes. |
Note: If you have configured several overrides of the same type, select the Enforced check box for an override that should have priority over all other overrides.
