How to Add Directories to the Watch/Ignore Rules for FIM Follow

Once you have logged into your Atomic UI, in the left pane migrate to Asset Management > Agent Management > <group_name>

From the group drop down, you will see FIM Settings and then the option to select Linux, Windows, or AIX

Select the OS and you will see Global Settings, Watch, and Ignore

• Global Settings: Declare time and/or day of the week to run static scans. *Generally this is used for environments that do not support real-time FIM*

• Watch: Path of the file, or registry key to monitor.

• Ignore: Path or simple regular expression to ignore.

Limit FIM to simple regular expressions. Example: .js$|.css$|.html$

^ -> To specify the beginning of the text.
$ -> To specify the end of the text.
| -> To create an "OR" between multiple patterns.
