Should snapshots for powered off VMs be ignored by default?

[atc0005]

Currently this is not the assumption. Snapshots are subject to both Age and Size checks by default, regardless of a VM's power state. While ignoring issues for powered off VMs by default makes sense to me in some cases (e.g., VMware Tools versions), ignoring powered off VMs seems more risky when dealing with snapshots.

Opening this GH discussion to invite feedback from others.

Snippet currently used in the README, cmd-specific doc files:

The current design of this plugin is to evaluate all Virtual Machines, whether powered off or powered on. If you have a use case for evaluating only powered on VMs by default, please add a comment to GH-79 providing some details for your use-case. In our environment, I have yet to see a need to only evaluate powered on VMs for old snapshots. For cases where the snapshots needed to be ignored, we added the VM to the ignore list. We then relied on datastore usage monitoring to let us know when space was becoming an issue.
