Need to exempt a drive from polling for all of a certain manufacturer's products. Is this possible?

Question

We have a number of storage boxes that are always going to show /dev as being 100% full. We've just set up Orion for the first time in our environment and are still learning our way around it, but haven't been able to find a way to exempt /dev from polling so that the storage devices aren't always showing as critical in our dashboard. We know /dev is full, we just don't particularly care at the moment and would like to filter out this noise so we can see more important issues with the devices. Is this possible? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to do it?

Perhaps the simplest way would be to remove those drives from monitoring all together?  Depending on how many of these /dev volumes you have you could simply 'list resources' on the node and uncheck as required or use something more efficient with the API as described here https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/87461/npm---delete-volumes-sql
