# Include or Exclude FlexNet Data in Processing based on Vendor Daemons

You can limit the FlexNet data processed for historical and real-time reporting by specifying vendor daemon names to include or exclude in the daemon_filter configuration file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the daemon_filter file in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

  2. Specify vendor name patterns (globbing is allowed) to include or exclude with the following syntax:

    Explicitly include a pattern
    include=<include pattern>
    Explicitly exclude a pattern
    exclude=<exclude pattern>

    Examples:
    To include everything except data for vendor daemon licsrv, use the following syntax:

    Example 1
    include=*
    exclude=licsrv

    To ignore everything except data for licsrv and lgcx, use the following syntax:

    Example 2
    include=licsrv,lgcx
  3. Save the changes.

  1. Open the daemon_filter file in the Configuration directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

  2. Specify vendor name patterns (globbing is allowed) to include or exclude with the following syntax:

    Explicitly include a pattern
    include=<include pattern>
    Explicitly exclude a pattern
    exclude=<exclude pattern>

    Examples:
    To include everything except data for vendor daemon licsrv, use the following syntax:

    Example 1
    include=*
    exclude=licsrv

    To ignore everything except data for licsrv and lgcx, use the following syntax:

    Example 2
    include=licsrv,lgcx
  3. Save the changes.
