[BESAdmin-Announcements] Scan Exclusion Tasks for the "Deploy & Run Scan" (Linux) Checklist, published 2026-04-28

*Title:*
Scan Exclusion Tasks for Deploy & Run Scan for Linux Checklist.

This workflow separates scan configuration from execution for custom,
consistent and repeatable scanning. Exclusions are stored on the endpoint
and automatically applied by the Deploy and Run task, overriding manual
“Deploy and Run task” Take Action inputs. Exclusions can be updated anytime
using the Add or Remove Scan Exclusion tasks without changing the scan
workflow.

*What’s New? *
●      *Add Scan Exclusions* – Adds and stores custom scan exclusion values
on the endpoint. ●      *Remove Scan Exclusions* – Removes previously
stored scan exclusion values from the endpoint.

●      *Measured Values - Scan Exclusions* - Displays the endpoint scan
exclusion configuration and related settings, including excluded
directories, mounts, filesystems, inode threshold, and configuration file
status.
