Hi Jacek,
Snapshots created by Snapcenter will start with the Resource group name. For example, in the output provided below, the snapshot names under the volume 'nfs1' beginning with 'RG1' were created by Snapcenter, whereas the rest were created by ONTAP.
To customize your snapshot names, For more detailed information, please refer to the following documents:
- [Create resource groups for VMs and datastores on Snapcenter plugin for VMware vSphere(SCV)](https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/sc-plugin-vmware-vsphere/scpivs44_create_resource_groups_for_vms_and_datastores.html)
- [Create resource groups and attach policies on SnapCenter](https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/snapcenter/protect-mysql/create-resource-groups-and-attach-policies.html)
Here is the output for your reference:
