Exclude vm object from logical disk alarm

Question

So i have set up a three phase alarm for logical disk, this is applied to all virtual machines.  i need a way for me to copy this rule and modify the default thresholds, then i need this new copied rule to just include one virtual machines logical disks.  how can i do this?  i already went down the services avenue but that won't work since i use attributes to create the services.  it just won't work the way i need it to.  so the easiest way is to create a copy of the rule, apply it to the specific objects.  i then need to modify the orginial rule to exlude that same object.  please help....

Hey Chris, Can you try below syntax: VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where virtualMachine.name not in {'VM_Core 5.6.7','Centos - Apache​'} Where VM_core 5.6.7 & Centos-Apache are Vm's. Thanks,

Thanks, this was helpful. i was able to create this as a rule to include from my alarm.

VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where not (uniqueId='d397d21e-f2b7-4ff0-b52b-0c03188a3c6d')

however when i try and add a second machine it doesn't actucally do remove the second object but it produces a green response. what is wrong with my syntax?

VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where not (uniqueId='d397d21e-f2b7-4ff0-b52b-0c03188a3c6d') or not (uniqueId='14690e23-bc95-4cbd-9549-647b7e94f99f')
