How can I exclude a few disk partitions based on their file systems?

If you want to exclude a disk partition from monitoring based on its file system type, you can do that with our server monitoring Configuration Rules. The Exclude Disk File System feature filters the disk partitions based on their file systems.

To exclude specific disk partitions based on their file system: 

1. Navigate to Admin > Inventory > Configuration Rules > Add Rule.

Alternatively, if you would like to add this condition to an existing rule (to exclude a disk partition based on the file system), navigate to Configuration Rules and click the rule to edit it.

2. On the Add Rule page that opens, in the Criteria drop-down menu, select Server Monitor. This displays all the available options applicable for server monitors.

3. In the Define Actions section, select Exclude Disk File System. In the input field, enter the RegEx pattern for the file system type you wish to exclude from monitoring.

4. Save the rule.
Please note two important things:
1. You must run the rule immediately after saving it to ensure the new Configuration Rule is applied to all the monitors that match the criteria set in the rule.
2. Any newly created server monitors that match the criteria specified in the rule will automatically exclude the partitions with the specified file system type.
