Built-In Host disk space event description must include the mount point (for Unix and Linux).

Document the recommended number of events and smart alerts the SaaS by default can support

Enable to exclude entities from built-in events by DFQ (Dynamic Focus Query)

Users cannot configure any conditions of built-in events. However in some cases, built-in event could be opened even though it is not harmful. Users would be happy if you can exclude entities from built-in events by using (single or sometimes mult...
