I am trying to exclude a directory and all of its sub-directories and contents from being audited. 

I used this link https://access.redhat.com/solutions/416863

I generated this syntax :

-a never,exclude -F path=/root/test

However, I am still getting audits from scripts generating files within this path.

Can you suggest a proper configuration for excluding a directory along with its sub-directories and contents.

We are on RHEL 6.9 and currently our audit version is : audit-2.4.5-3.el6.x86_64

Thanks for your support!
