Excluding Paths From Event Reports

The Excluded Paths allow excluding specific paths from appearing in Event Reports, providing more focused monitoring. It also allows you to specify a user to exclude their action within a directory from a report.

Attention! This feature is separate from global path exclusions described in the Excluded paths configuration.

Paths excluded from Event Reports will be monitored for threats but will not be included in the event reports.

{
  "path": "/path/to/exclude",
  "user": "root"
}

To exclude the path for all users, leave the user key empty or set it to null.
