Hi,

I am looking for a way to exclude specific file types from being logged in the security audits. I have a folder being audited for deletion events and the majority of logged events are .tmp files (such as a temp Word file that is automatically deleted when the app is closed) which I do not care about.

Would anyone know of a way to exclude these types of files from being logged?

Thanks in advance for any comments.
