What do you guys do in your VMware environments for VMs using CDP or replicas? Once I have a bunch of snapshots at the DR site vCenter likes to give nice little red alerts. Other monitoring systems tend to remind you that there are too many snapshots too.
I found the easiest way is to disable that alert at the DR site, but I have to be manually monitoring my environment to make sure an unwanted snapshot doesn’t get left behind somewhere.

Have not seen this with CDP nor replicas. Interesting to know if there is a fix.

I don’t receive these alerts for snapshot or CDP replica’s. I understand these are vCenter alerts? Wondering if the thresholds for alerting have changed and can be tweaked? I’m wondering if perhaps also you’re keeping a lot more snapshots than I am. I generally only keep about 3-5 days of snaps depending on how often we take them. My thought process is that snaps don’t have to be kept for a long time - that’s what backup retention is for while replica’s are more for a fast DR recovery, so I generally won’t need to go very far back past the most recent replica unless it’s something more like a malware infection, etc.
