An administrator has been tasked with creating a custom alert for an object in VMware...

When creating acustom alert in VCF Operations, the final required step is:

Enable the alert in an Active Policy, so it applies to the target objects.

Without policy activation, the alert exists but will never trigger.

Other options:

A. Super metric→ Only required if monitoring a custom metric, not for standard alerts.

B. REST Notification Plugin→ Used for outbound integration, not triggering alerts.

C. Payload Template→ Used in notifications, not in core alert configuration.
