How to exclude a VMware Virtual Machine Instance CI from being discovered

Hi, would anyone know if I could use the Process Classification record (found under Discovery Definition -> CI Classification) for vCenter to exclude a certain name of a VMware Virtual Machine Instance from being discovered? This post mentions to configure that, but because vCenter is a Process Classification I was wondering if it would be the same. This is the post I am referring to: Exclude CI's based on Host name - IT Operations Management - Question - ServiceNow Community

I see there is an option for "Create "No classify" process handler". Would I select this? I am looking to exclude snapshot VMware instances where the hostname ends in "_QRV".

Thanks in advance.

Process Classifier is above to catch the Vcenter process running on any given host.

In case of Vcenter Process detection then furthur probes are trigerred as a part of Vcenter Discovery and Vm Instance is one of Cis.

VM Instance discovery is done by this Probe . Here it may need some modification as per ur need.

One option is a business rule to abort when the CI Name tries to insert.

Has anyone successfully done this? It would be great to see an example of the business rule.
