Paths

You can exclude a specific location or file by defining a path on the device to a specific directory.

To exclude a path

1. Navigate to Policies > Exclusions.
2. Select the Path tab.

3. Click Create New.

   The ADD NEW PATH EXCLUSION dialog is displayed.

4. In the OS field, select an operating system from the drop-down list.
5. Enter the path to a directory or file in the Path field.
6. From the drop-down list in the As field, select one of the following: File, Folder, or Folder and Subfolders.

7. Select an Exclusion Mode. The options are defined below:

   Exclusion Mode	Definition
   Suppress Alerts	Does not display alerts on any of the processes.
   Interoperability	Reduces the monitoring level of the processes, which may be needed for interoperability with some third party applications that may be running on your system (for example, CAD).
   Interoperability—Extended	Reduces the monitoring level of the processes and their child processes.
   Performance Focus	Disables monitoring of the processes associated with this path. You might select this option if monitoring these processes creates performance issues.
   Performance Focus—Extended	Disables monitoring of the processes associated with a path and the child sub-processes. You might select this option if the parent and child processes together cause performance issues.

8. Click Add.

By clicking the Keep Open box, the ADD EXCLUSION window stays open after clicking Add. That way you can immediately define another exclusion if you want.
