How to use exclude directory or file

Hello, 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! George Sarker.
