Prevent or filter discovered items

[etfz]

Hi,

I have some VMware virtual machines with filesystem discovery, and I've just noticed that each ZFS snapshot is discovered as a filesystem. This clutters the data, and I would to eliminate these. Besides disabling filesystem discovery altogether - which I'm not ruling out, as I intend to use agent based file system monitoring - I have a few ideas, none of which I know how to do.

- Disable if a certain template is applied to the host
- Disable if a certain tag is present on the host
- Omit file systems whose name contain a certain string (undesirable)

vmware guest "mounted fielsystems" discovery has no filters set..Only LLD macro there is {#FSNAME}.. so you can only add a filter based on that... either does not match regex or matches regex...

That works, but I don't really like it. No way for the other methods? (disabling all file system discovery based on host template or tag?

nope.. there is nothing like "if this tag exists on a host, don't run template X"...

I understand. Thanks. In the end, I've opted to disable filesystem discovery across the board.
