Thanks for the response.
I have just tried and unfortunately, I can only do up to 5 devices at a time in Device Inventory. I need to exclude all future hosts with a hostname prefix and current ones, there are several thousands of devices needing excluded as new ones are frequently spun up and torn down during testing.
