ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Linux – Table of Contents

Excluded applications

Use it to exclude communications for specific network-aware applications from protocol filtering. HTTP/POP3/IMAP communication for the selected applications will not be scanned for threats. We recommend only using this technique when applications do not function properly with protocol filtering enabled.

To exclude application from scanning:

1.In ESET PROTECT, click Policies > New policy and type a name for the policy.

2.Click Settings and select ESET Endpoint for Linux (V7+) from the drop-down menu.

3.Navigate to Protections > Web access protection and click Edit next to Excluded applications.

4.Click Add, define the Path to be skipped by the scanner.

5.Click OK, then click Save to close the dialog.

6.Click Continue > Assign, select the desired group of computers the policy will apply to.

7.Click OK, then click Finish.

Exclusion paths

/root/* - The "root" directory and all of its sub-directories and their content.

/root - The "root" file only.

/root/file.txt - The file.txt in "root" directory only.


Important

Wildcards in paths

Do not use wildcards in the middle of a path. ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Linux does not support it.

Do not use a wildcard at the end of a path when it is not after a slash (/). For example: /var/lib/target*

Use a wildcard only for a full trailing path segment after a slash. For example: /root/*

Incorrect examples:

/home/user/*/data/file.dat

/home/*/Documents/devel-t/test-repo/*

/srv/project/*modules

/var/lib/target*

/home/*/projects/*/venv

/home/user/example-*-dir/

 

Correct examples:

/root/*
