Each ESX host or virtual machine entry in the user black list should include the Managed Object Reference (MOR) value. The MOR value is assigned to monitored objects in the monitored VMware environment and is collected by Foglight for VMware. This value is stored in the Managed Object Reference property of ESX host and virtual machine objects. You can use the Data Browser to find out the MOR values for those ESX hosts or virtual machines that you want to exclude from data collection.
