Exporting and importing exclusion lists

Exporting and importing exclusion lists

You can export or import exclusion lists for Process Exclusions and Execution Prevention Exclusions using the Export and Import buttons at the top-left of the Exclusion Manager page. This function is handy in a muiti-tenant environment where you can easily duplicate the exclusion lists for some or all organizations without the need to re-define exclusions for each organization separately.

To export one or multiple exclusion lists:
  1. In the Exclusion Manager page, click Export at the top-left corner.
  2. In the window that appears, select the list(s) to export. To export all lists, select All lists.

  3. Click Export.
  4. After the export is complete, click Download to save the file and then click Close.

    The file includes all exported exclusions and the exclusion lists that each exclusion belongs to.

To import one or multiple exclusion lists:
  1. In the Exclusion Manager page, click Import at the top-left corner.
  2. Select the list(s) to import (that you have saved or exported) and click Open.
  3. Wait for the import to complete and click Close.

    Note

    If a list name in the imported list already exists in the system, FortiEDR adds a suffix to the name of the newly imported list without touching the existing list.

    For example, if the list name "AV" already exists, FortiEDR renames the imported list as "AV_1" that will appear in addition to the existing "AV" list. If such a list name ("AV") gets imported again, FortiEDR increments the number in the suffix of the list name for each subsequent import, which would be "AV_2", "AV_3", etc.
