ExcludeUnixSoftwareProcessDirectory

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

Command line | Registry

ExcludeUnixSoftwareProcessDirectory specifies the directories that running Unix processes should NOT be collected from. This setting is used to avoid reporting Unix system processes started from the specified directories. The Flexera Usage agent (mgsusageag) will read this setting.

In conjunction with this preference is another preference called PerformUnixSoftwareProcessScan which enables the collection of Unix software processes outside of the specified ExcludeUnixSoftwareProcessDirectory directories by the Flexera Inventory agent (ndtrack).
