Smarts BIM: Existing Smarts SAM notifications are not propagating to BIM

Products

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:




Existing Smarts SAM notifications not propagating to Smarts BIM
Smarts SAM Business Impact Manager (Smarts BIM) is not showing impacts on devices even though notifications are active

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause
