figured it out I had to add the vms from the alert to a list then export. Then download the export.

Hi, small note. Your way is correct. However there are several issues. The List can contain max. 50 items and also manual export of VMs from the alert isn't very handy. If you want to analyze the "VMs with Large Snapshots" alert frequently it's recommended that a SQL query is used in "Data Export" menu:

It will add all VMs dynamically, not from the static List. Also if you configure the scheduled report to be run periodically, you will get actual reports either from VMAN application (Explore - Content menu) or via email (Notifications tab of the scheduled report).
