What is vmwareAlertRootCause?

This value is a text string describing the root cause VCOPs determined for the generated alert. Admins read it to get straight to the underlying problem, such as resource contention or a failed component, without needing to manually diagnose the symptom that triggered the alert. For example, it might read "CPU contention on host esxi-host-12" pointing the admin directly at the underlying issue.
