Exclusions

In this section you can see the list of all created exclusions for Antivirus detections and Firewall IDS rules. This new section contains all exclusions, increases their visibility and simplifies their management.

Click an exclusion or select more exclusions and click the Detection button to manage the exclusions:

• Change Assignments - Change the target computers where the exclusion will be applied.

• Show Affected Computers - See computers where the exclusion is applied.

• Audit Log - Show the Audit Log for the selected exclusion.

•Delete - Delete the exclusion.

• Access Group > Move - Move the object to another Static Group where it is available to users with sufficient rights to the target group. Changing the Access Group is useful when solving access issues with other users. Access Group sets the object's Static Group and access to the object based on the user's access rights.

If the excluded detection or firewall action appears again on the managed computers, the Hit count column displays the number of times the exclusion has been applied.
