Antivirus exclusion list for Octopus

[mikepower79]

Hi Team,
We have discovered that our anti virus software on our servers is causing many of our deployments to hang, as of now Security team disabled MacAfee for few of the components and is resolving the issue.

But we cant do this for every deployment so is there any specific exclusions required particularly from Octopus perspective, so that our deployments can run smoothly.

Kind Regards,
Micheal Power

Good morning @mikepower79,

Thanks for contacting us and logging this issue, we do get frequent issues with Anti-Virus on customers machines so we have produced a handy malware guide which should detail the folders you need to whitelist in your AV software.

Reach out if you do exclude those and you are still seeing deployment hangs and we will dig into it a bit further with you,

Kind Regards,
Clare
