Ability to EXCLUDE a VM snapshot of a specific NAME from triggering the snapshot age alert

Question

We use Cisco HyperFlex extensively. A significant feature is the use of storage native snapshots that greatly reduce the impact snapshots have on VM's. In the case of HyperFlex this is always a root snapshot named SENTINEL. It is always present and rarely removed. If it is removed then it will be recreated by backup software, utilities, etc.

What I would like to do is prevent any snapshot named SENTINEL from being factored into the VM snapshot age alert.

Thank you.

If your snapshots are coming in as instances in the DataSource, you need only configure a discovery filter. Yours would look like this (assuming a multi-instance DS where snapshots are the instances):
