Newly created thresholds in vmware app not showing up for other users

I've created some new thresholds in the vmware app settings, but they only show up for me, other people hit the proactive monitoring page and get errors saying that a threshold is not set for the given value. I've been trying to find where that might be defined so I can fix it, but should this be the desired behavior of the thresholds?

You need to merge the contents of etc/user/username/splunk_for_vmware/sa_threshold.conf with etc/apps/splunk_for_vmware/local/sa_threshold.conf and then remove your etc/user/username/splunk_for_vmware/sa_threshold.conf. I was able to reproduce this behavior by modifying the etc/splunk_for_vmware/local directories permissions to be read-only. Please make sure that your local directory is writable by splunk.

In this case, I navigate here and I have a history, local, and metadata directory, but no conf file at this level.

I definitely did it through the web app. so if I find a thresholds.conf folder in the location you specify, I should be able to move that information to the one under apps/local?

This would imply that some how your threshold.conf got placed in your personal user folder (etc/user/username) instead of the appliaction's /local folder. When you created the threshold, did you do it from the vmware/configration page? Or was it done outside the vmware app?
