How to manage task settings on the command line

You can edit the settings for all user tasks and all predefined tasks, except for Rollback and License tasks.

On the command line, you can edit the settings of tasks using the kfl-control --set-settings command:

• You can edit all task settings using the configuration file that contains the task settings. You can get the configuration file using the command for displaying task settings.
• You can edit individual task settings on the command line in the <setting name>=<setting value> format. You can get the current values of task settings using the command for displaying task settings.
• You can restore the task settings to their default values.

You can add or remove scan scopes and exclusion scopes using a configuration file that contains task settings or command line options. Configuring scan scopes and exclusion scopes is available for tasks of the OAS and ODS types.

In order to optimize the operation of scan tasks, it is recommended to add the path with snapshots mounted by the system in the read-only mode to the exclusions for the systems with the btrfs file system and enabled active snapshots. For example, for the systems based on SUSE/OpenSUSE, you can add the following exclusion for the path: /.snapshots/*/snapshot/.

For some tasks, separate management commands are also provided that allow you to edit task settings.
