Change Auditor for EMC 7.3 - User Guide

Exclusions tab

If you do not want to exclude anything (folders or files) in the audit path from auditing, skip this tab. However, if you want to exclude a specific folder/file or group of folders/files, use the following characters to specify what is to be excluded:

•
Fixed characters such as letters, numbers and other characters that are allowed in file names.
•
An asterisk (*) wildcard character to substitute zero or more characters.
* 
NOTE: Use a single asterisk (*) to specify a non-recursive match (find match in the folder only; does not match any slash characters (\)).

Use a double asterisk (**) to specify a recursive match (find match in the folder and all subfolders in audit path; matches slash characters (\) and directory names in paths).

•
Question mark (?) wildcard character to substitute a single character (does not match any slash characters (\).
* 
NOTE: Be sure to select the appropriate Add option (Folder or File) when adding an exclusion or you may not get the results expected. That is, use Add | Folder to exclude the auditing of activity against files/subfolders in folder(s) that match the exclusion string. Use Add | File to exclude the auditing of activity against file(s) that match the exclusion string.
Exclusion examples

These examples show how to use file masks on the Exclusions tab of the auditing wizard. Note that <String> in these examples may contain any of the file mask characters described above (such as, fixed characters, * or ?).

All volume exclusion examples

Audit Path = All Volumes

In the following examples, Vol0 contains three shares: HOME, SHARE2 and SHAREDDOCS; and Vol1 contains one share: SHAREDAPPS.

* 
NOTE: When using All Volumes, you cannot exclude an individual volume. You must use a share name, which is unique to a volume. That is, you cannot have two shares with the name of HOME (either on the same volume or different volumes).
* 
NOTE: When auditing an individual volume or all volumes, you must include the share name (or a file mask to represent the share) in the exclusion path. See the following examples.
