    Note
    Context menu exceptions do not have names
  • Targets: The location of the objects or events you want to exclude from detections
    For example, you can exclude objects on a specific endpoint using the endpointGUID field and the GUID value of the endpoint.
  • Event source: The types of events you want to exclude from detections
    Exception type allows you to select either Filter-based exception or Global exception. Filter-based exceptions apply only to events that match the filter specified in the exception. Global exceptions are applied to every event.

    If you change Exception type from Filter-based exception to Global exception and save your changes, you will not be able to revert this exception back to filter-based later.
