Hi, we got hundreds of ESXi problems occuring every day. Via an alerting profile they are set to only create an alert when they last longer than 15min. 99% of them are closed earlier, they usually only last a few minutes. Here is my problem: In the problems app I see all the “problems”, even the ones that never made it past the 15min. That a looooong list of “could have been become an alert” problems.  The huge amount is distracting the users from the actual problems/alerts that need some following up. Is there any way to hide the irrelevant problems any only display the useful ones? Example from today: ![gschramm_0-1765873463547.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/3/1/3176acf1822904059dec29b0c372a9cd4a366d2c.png) ---

Hi, How is problem triggered? Anomaly detection? Custom metric event? Best regards ---

These are ootb event types from the classic VMWare integration. They are used in an alerting profile. ![gschramm_0-1765875056687.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/b/1/b1eb2062ba267692625edd7be458051aab896112.png) ---

Hi, You can filter before table by that alerting profile, or per problem duration. Best regards ---

I can do that, but I haven’t found a way to persist that filter for all our users. It’s annoying to always apply the filter before you start to use the app ---

Hi, Maybe create a notebook them, with filters applied where people only need to make click. Or a dashboard with real time data. Best regards
