Im syncing vcenter guests in to our Inventory, the problem is that im getting all guests from vcenter synced in to AWX, and i just want to have some specific guests.  
I have tried to use host\_filters in INSTANCE FILTERS but it didnt work, i got all vcenter guest. Syntax that i used: **host\_filters: {{ “part of hostname” in config.name }}**
