Automatic SQL Express detection

Is there a way to automatic detect SQL express and separate them in the view from the full version SQL servers.

SQL Server express is discovered as any other SQL version:

Groups are created from this too:

There’s not a way to exclude these, though if you know which servers have them, you can use criteria to remove the servers in question from view in a dashboard. Below I have removed server1 from display:

Hi!

You could use this filter.

It does target only the SQL DB Engine and not the whole computer though. I could not find a class that contains all SQL versions so you need to create one filter for each version I´m afraid.
