When you configure directory exclusions, do not add the trailing / (forward slash) to the directory exclusion.
For example:
/var/log/ - generates the error message in messages and system events
/var/log -
does not generate error in messages and system events
NOTE: Always enter the path names in correct case and enable
Exclude Subdirectories if the full directory should be excluded.
A list of recommended exclusions is available in Best Practice Guides for each version of the Product: The best practice guides are available in
