On-access File Integrity Monitoring task settings

Setting	Description	Values

`UseExcludeMasks`	Enables exclusion of the objects specified by the `ExcludeThreats.item_#` setting from the monitoring scope. This setting applies only if the `ExcludeMasks.item_#` setting is specified.	`Yes` — Exclude the objects specified by the `ExcludeMasks.item_#` setting from the monitoring scope. `No` (default value) — Do not exclude the objects specified by the `ExcludeMasks.item_#` setting from the monitoring scope.
`ExcludeMasks.item_#`	Excludes objects from monitoring by names or masks. You can use this setting to exclude an individual file from the specified scan scope by name or exclude several files at once using masks in the shell format. Before specifying a value for this setting, make sure that the `UseExcludeMasks` setting is enabled. You can specify several masks. Each mask must be specified on a new line with a new index.	The default value is not defined.
The [ScanScope.item_#] section contains the monitoring scopes of the System Integrity Monitoring task. At least one monitoring scope must be specified for the task. You can specify several [ScanScope.item_#] sections in any order. The application processes the scopes by index in ascending order. The [ScanScope.item_#] section contains the following settings:
`AreaDesc`	Description of monitoring scope; contains additional information about the monitoring scope.	The default value is not defined.
`UseScanArea`	Enables monitoring of the specified scope.	`Yes` (default value) — Monitor the specified scope. `No` — Do not monitor the specified scope.
`Path`	Path to the monitoring directory.	You can use masks to specify the path. You can use the `` (asterisk) character to create a file or directory name mask. You can indicate a single `` character to represent any set of characters (including an empty set) preceding the `/` character in the file or directory name. For example, `/dir//file` or `/dir///file`. You can indicate two consecutive `` characters to represent any set of characters (including an empty set and the `/` character) in the file or directory name. For example, `/dir/*/file/` or `/dir/file/`. The `` mask can be used only once in a directory name. For example, `/dir///file` is an incorrect mask. You can use a single `?` character to represent any one character in the file or directory name. Default value: /opt/kaspersky/kesl/
`AreaMask.item_#`	Monitoring scope limitation. Within the monitoring scope, the application scans only the objects that are specified using the masks in the shell format. You can specify several `AreaMask.item_#` items in any order. The application processes the scopes by index in ascending order.	Default value: `*` (all objects are monitored)
The [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] section contains the objects to be excluded from all [ScanScope.item_#] sections. The objects that match the rules of any [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] section will be excluded from monitoring. The format of the [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] section is similar to the format of the [ScanScope.item_#] section. You can specify several [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] sections in any order. The application processes the scopes by index in ascending order. The [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] section contains the following settings:
`AreaDesc`	Description of the monitoring exclusion scope, which contains additional information about the monitoring exclusion scope.	The default value is not defined.
`UseScanArea`	Excludes the specified scope from monitoring.	`Yes` (default value) — Exclude the specified scope from monitoring. `No` — Do not exclude the specified scope from monitoring.
`Path`	Path to the directory with objects excluded from monitoring.	You can use masks to specify the path. You can use the `` (asterisk) character to create a file or directory name mask. You can indicate a single `` character to represent any set of characters (including an empty set) preceding the `/` character in the file or directory name. For example, `/dir//file` or `/dir///file`. You can indicate two consecutive `` characters to represent any set of characters (including an empty set and the `/` character) in the file or directory name. For example, `/dir/*/file/` or `/dir/file/`. The `` mask can be used only once in a directory name. For example, `/dir///file` is an incorrect mask. You can use a single `?` character to represent any one character in the file or directory name. The default value is not defined.
`AreaMask.item_#`	Limitation of monitoring exclusion scope. In the monitoring exclusion scope, the application only excludes the objects that are specified using masks in the shell format. You can specify several `AreaMask.item_#` items in any order. The application processes the scopes by index in ascending order.	Default value: `*` (exclude all objects from monitoring)
