Storage Location of Exclusion and Inclusion Lists


BMC PATROL uses variables in the BMC PATROL configuration database to store information about exclusion and inclusion lists. The two variables are

  • /AgentSetup/application.filterList --contains the list of instances to include or exclude depending upon the value of application.filterType
     The format is a comma-separated list of instances or regular expressions. The variable has a limit of 1024 characters. Regular Expressions can be used to alleviate this limitation. The error: Exclusion list too long. Please use regular expression exclusion. is generated when a filter exceeds the maximum size allowed for an Agent configuration variable.
  • /AgentSetup/application.filterType --determines whether the list is an exclusion or inclusion
     If application.filterType does not exist, the list defaults to exclude. Valid values are
    • exclude
    • include
