Sensor Visibility Exclusion patterns are written in which syntax?

CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor Visibility Exclusions (SVEs) use wildcard characters to define patterns for file paths and directories. This syntax, which employs characters like to match any sequence of characters (except path separators) and to match directories recursively, is known as glob syntax. It provides a flexible yet straightforward way to specify exclusions without the complexity of full regular expressions (RegEx). This is common for file path matching in security and system administration tools.

Kleene Star Syntax: This is a concept within formal language theory and regular expressions (), not a distinct syntax for file paths. RegEx: Regular Expressions offer more complex pattern matching and use a different, more extensive set of special characters not supported by SVEs. SPL(Splunk): This is the proprietary Search Processing Language used for searching and analyzing data within the Splunk platform, not for configuring CrowdStrike exclusions.
