Setting

Description

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

This check box enables or disables the exclusion of the scope when the application is running.

If the check box is selected, the application excludes this scope from scan or protection during its operation.

If the check box is cleared, the application includes this scope in scan or protection during its operation. You can later exclude this scope from scan or protection by selecting the check box.

The check box is selected by default.

File system, access protocol and path

In this drop-down list, you can select the type of file system where the directories that you want to add to scan exclusions are located:

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

Access protocol

You can select the remote access protocol in the drop-down list:

  • 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.

This drop-down list is available if the Mounted type is selected in the drop-down list of file systems.

Path

Entry field for the path to the directory that you want to add to the exclusion scope. You can use masks to specify the path.

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

This field is available if the Local type is selected in the drop-down list of file systems.

Name of shared resource

The field for entering the name of the file system shared resource, 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 File system drop-down list and the Custom item is selected in the Access protocol drop-down list.

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.
