VSEL, managed through ePO, allows you to push scan exclusions to the endpoint. These exclusions are useful for preserving files and folders that are sensitive to scanning, cannot be written to, or are sizeable enough to cause scanning to take a very long time.
You can use the following steps to verify the exclusions you pushed from ePO are active and functioning on the endpoint.
- Push the On-Demand task from ePO to VSEL.
The task appears on the VSEL interface.
- Click the task name, then click Run Now.
- From the command line, navigate to:
var/opt/NAI/LinuxShield/etc/
- Execute the following command:
ls -a
The file begins with "."
- Verify you can view the file by executing the cat or vi command.
