Forticlient AV exclusions managed by Fortigate

[mtellso510]

I have a need to exclude files from the forticlient AV real-time scanner.  This is easily done on the endpoints, but if I register the forticlient with a fortigate, this option is no longer available.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

An example for what I am trying to do is installing the forticlient on a server and excluding the AV scanner from the spool directory and also the pagefile.

Yea, I'm in the same boat actually.  I need to exclude a "folder" regarding GNS3, however it appears that this should be done via the custom XML.  Unfortunately I'm not very good at XML so my syntax is totally incorrect..

See under exclusions:
