How to selectively disable smart on specific drives

I have several VM hosts that are reporting "libsmartsata: Not an ATA SMART device...." to our syslog server.  Some drives for whatever reason don't report SMART.  Is there a way to filter out this white noise from getting sent to my syslog server?  I found a few other people who have asked this question before, but couldn't find whether there is an easy way to do this.

Hello,

Did some digging and was unable to find any way to disable this for individual drives. Looking at what is running it is all or nothing.
