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 exclusion to a different static group.

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.
