Exclusion scope name

Field for entering the exclusion scope name. This name will be displayed in the table in the Exclusion scopes window.

The entry field must not be blank.

Use this scope

The check box enables or disables exclusion of the scope from scan when the application is running.

If this check box is selected, the application excludes this area during scans.

If this check box is cleared, the application includes this area in the scan scope. You can later exclude this scope by selecting the check box.

The check box is selected by default.

File system, access protocol, and path

The settings block lets you set the exclusion scope.

In the drop-down list of file systems, you can select the type of file system of the directories to be excluded from scans:

• Local, for local directories.
• Mounted – mounted directories.
• All mounted: all remote directories mounted on the device using the Samba and NFS protocols.

If Mounted is selected in the drop-down list of file systems, you can select the remote access protocol in the drop-down list on the right:

• NFS: remote directories mounted on a device using the NFS protocol.
• Samba: remote directories mounted on a device using the Samba protocol.
• Custom – resources of the device's file system specified in the field below.

If Local is selected in the drop-down list of file systems, then in the input field you can enter a path to a directory that you want add to the exclusion scope.

The / path is specified by default. The application excludes all directories of the local file system from scan.

Filesystem name

The field for entering the name of the file system where the directories that you want to add to the exclusion scope are located.

The field is available if the Mounted type is selected in the drop-down list of file systems and the Custom item is selected in the drop-down list on the right.

Masks

The list contains name masks of the objects that the application excludes from scan. Masks are only applied to objects in the directory specified in the path field.

By default the list contains the * mask (all objects).

You can add, edit, or delete masks.
