Wildcard Exclusions APIs

  • Last updated on

This setting allows users to set the wildcard exclusions. The request is wrapped inside "wildCardExclusions" block and has two member settings:

  • "values" : these are the user-specified wildcard exclusions and it has to be an array of strings
  • "keepDefaults": this field specified whether to:

keep all defaults when set to true

remove all defaults when set to false

remove individual defaults when this is an array of strings. Accepted values are:

RecycleBinDir removes '*:$Recycle.Bin*'

RecyclerDir removes '*:\RECYCLER*'

SystemVolumeInformationDir removes '*:\System Volume Information*'

WindowsDir removes '*:\Windows*'

UserTempDir removes '*:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Temp*'

Usage Example

There are multiple combinations of the parameters above, resulting in different outcomes.

Keep all defaults only:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "keepDefaults": true

}

 

Keep specific defaults only:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "keepDefaults": [

        "RecycleBinDir"

    ]

}

 

Add user wildcard exclusions and keep all defaults:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "values": [

        "D:\\",

        "F:\\MyData\\*.log"

    ],

    "keepDefaults": true

}  

 

Add user wildcard exclusions only:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "values": [

        "D:\\",

        "F:\\MyData\\*.log"

    ]

}  

 

Note: In this case "keepDefaults" defaults to false. This means that only the user defined exclusions is saved/applied. This is the same as:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "values": [

        "D:\\",

        "F:\\MyData\\*.log"

    ],

    "keepDefaults": false

}      

 

Add user wildcard exclusions and keep specific defaults:

"wildCardExclusions": {

    "values": [

        "D:\\",

        "F:\\MyData\\*.log"

    ],

    "keepDefaults": [

        "RecycleBinDir"

    ]

}
