It would be very helpful if we could specify during vCenter monitor build to be able to choose discovery options for both vCenter, esxi hosts and datastores. What we are finding is that if you allow discovery of esxi hosts it uses the default settings for the host and auto discovers VMs, datastores, datastore snapshots, resource pools and hardware. We have implemented a configuration rule as suggested to exclude VMs and resource pools from being discovered but there is no option for hardware or datastore snapshot discovery. In addition it would be good if we could specify configuration options for discovered devices like grouping and alerting to cut down on cleanup time.

Thanks
