Essentially, this feature allows you not only to include an object that is affected by an issue in a notification but also to include its descendant objects. Why is this feature significant? Consider a scenario where there is an outage on one ESXi host. This issue is primarily a concern for the infrastructure teams responsible for operations, but it also impacts the workloads and could potentially affect service levels.
