You can assign aliases to any monitored item where it makes sense, such as VM, volume, pool, SAN port, datastore, cluster ...
You will see a new name everywhere in the UI, Reports, Exports, Alerting afterwards.
You can even create a CSV file with aliases and import it into the tool all in once.
There is UI based form: UI ➡ Settings icon ➡ Device ➡ Alias ➡ Select devices class ➡ HW class ➡Subsystem ➡ Add item ➡ select the item from a list ➡ save
edit the alias name in the main alias table ➡ Save all
Aliasing - CSV import
- Create a new alias, select many items, ideally via Regex
- save it, items appear with generic names in the aliasing table
- click to "Export CSV", edit that file, remove unwanted, modify wanted
- import that file, use "Import CSV"
