Scan Paths

Use this feature to create either a Whitelist or Blacklist of paths/locations to restrict the locations inspected by the Software Vulnerability Manager scan.

Click Add Whitelist Rule or Add Blacklist Rule and enter the Name, Path and Site (optional) details.

Important:This feature is not applicable to RHEL.

If using the Whitelist, all the locations white-listed will be inspected by the scanner and any other locations are excluded from Software Vulnerability Manager inspections.

If using the Blacklist, all the locations/paths black-listed will be ignored and any other paths are inspected by the Software Vulnerability Manager scan.

Important:Use this feature with caution. By using the Scan Path Rules some of your paths will be excluded from the scan and Software Vulnerability Manager will not alert you towards excluded insecure products, even if they potentially expose your hosts to security threats.

Important:It is not possible to simultaneously use both a Blacklist and a Whitelist.
