Why disk partition is re-added even after exclusion using configuration rules

Why does a particular disk partition get re-added for monitoring even though it has been excluded using configuration rules?

Use case:
A configuration rule has been defined to exclude some disk drives from being monitored. But the drives get re-added back for monitoring.

How it works:
The configuration rule, when run manually, will execute as per the rule action configured. But during data collection, the configuration rule will run based on priority.

Every rule has a priority assigned to it. When a rule matches the monitor configuration, this option stops running a check on the other rules that have a lesser priority. Thus, when run manually, the disk partition is deleted. But during data collection, the high priority rule matching the condition will get executed.

Solution:
Change the priority of the configuration rule based on matching criteria. In the Site24x7 web client, go to Admin > Inventory > Configuration Rules.
Note: The least number has the highest priority.
