Hi all  
i have been trying elastic agent endpoint for sometime.  
So i notices that endpoint mornitor for file is really large. like it logs even when i create a file and tmp file which can generate a lots of logs that is unnecessary for me and also can be a lots for our data node which has already max out its capacity.  
If any one recommend to delete the data. I cant because i need to retain those data for future investigation if needed.  
I want to simply exclude the type of data that endpoint will logs and send to elastic.  
Thanks all for your time.

Hi @lusynda

This type of thing is already on our roadmap. It's nice to see some validation that it would be useful in the real world.
