Settings API - Anomaly detection for VMware schema table

    Anomaly detection for VMware (builtin:anomaly-detection.infrastructure-vmware)

    Dynatrace automatically detects infrastructure-related performance anomalies such as high CPU saturation, memory outages, and low disk-space conditions. Use these settings to configure detection sensitivity, set alert thresholds, or disable alerting for infrastructure components.
