File System Events File/Folder Inclusion and Exclusion Examples

Inclusions tab Exclusions tab

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.

The following tables provide some examples of file masks that can be used on the Exclusions tab of the auditing wizard. Note that <String> in these tables may contain any of the file mask characters described above (i.e., fixed characters, * or ?).

Audit Path = Folder (<Drive>:\<FolderName>\)


	NOTE: When the Auditing Path is All Shares, you cannot specify to exclude an individual share or folders/files found on an individual shares; you can only specify to exclude files and/or folders which may be found on all shares. Change Auditor automatically appends *\ to the beginning of all exclusion entries when the Audit Path is All Shares.

In the following examples the Audit Path is C:\TEMP\.

Audit Path = All Drives

In the following examples, there are two drives: C and D.


	NOTE: When the Auditing Path is All Drives, you cannot specify to exclude an individual drive or folders/files found on an individual drive; you can only specify to exclude files and/or folders which may be found on all drives. Change Auditor automatically appends *\ to the beginning of all exclusion entries when the Audit Path is All Drives.
