Configuring global exclusions in the Web Console
In the Web Console, you can configure use of global exclusions in the policy properties (Application settings → General settings → Global exclusions).
The table in the Global exclusions section contains mount points to be excluded from file operation interception.
The Path column displays the paths to the excluded mount points. The table is empty by default.
You can add, edit, and delete items in the table.
Clicking the Delete button removes the selected item from the table.
This button is available if at least one item is selected in the table.

Description
|
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: local mount points.
- Mounted: remote directories mounted on the device using the Samba or NFS protocol.
- 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
|
Field for entering the path to the mount point that you want to exclude from file operation interception. 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.
To exclude the mount point /dir, you need to specifically indicate /dir (no asterisk).
The mask /dir/* excludes all mount points at the level below /dir but not /dir itself. The /dir/** mask excludes all mount points below the level of /dir but not /dir itself.
You can use a single ? character to represent any one character in the file or directory name.
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 file operation interception exclusions 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.
