This requires you add a policy => condition, such as vm name includes "test", add a policy with vm and instance scope, use the created condition, assign an event such as login failed and generate log message for action. Put this policy into a policy profile, create one if you don't have one. Then, go to vm and instances and select several vms with names with some that meet the condition and some that don't. Then go to policy -> manage policies and add your policy profile.

Then, go to policy -> simulation and try to get the event for the specific vms to "allow" or "deny" the policy. Once that works to allow the proper one and deny the expected denial, you can try doing this in the API.
