Hi,

You could use a syscall based form to write the rule.

First exclude the subdirectory that you don't want to watch (using *never* as action):

    auditctl -a exit,never -F dir=/var/mydata/tmp_data -k my-data

And then add a watcher to all the rest:

    auditctl -a exit,always -F dir=/var/mydata -F perm=w -k my-data

I have a folder which I'd like to monitor with auditd, with the
exception of one specific subdirectory. Is there any way I can disable
monitoring just that subdirectory, but keep monitoring the rest of the
dir recursively as usual?

Say, I first do:

auditctl -w /var/mydata/ -k my-data -p w

and want to exclude looking at /var/mydata/tmp_data/


Thanks!
