Artifactory allows you to specify global exclude patterns in circumstances where a specific pattern should be restricted at the Artifactory system level rather than each repository.
In order to set a global exclude pattern for all repositories, the artifactory.repo.includeExclude.globalExcludes system property should be added (or modify it if it already exists) to the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.system.properties file with the desired exclude patterns, separated by a comma. For example:
artifactory.repo.includeExclude.globalExcludes=**/terra*/**,**/test*/**
Please note that starting from version 7.85, an improvement was introduced to reduce the load when reading global exclude properties. Any properties added to the artifactory.repo.includeExclude.globalExcludes parameter are now controlled by the flag artifactory.repo.default.includeExclude.globalExcludes.empty.list, which is set to true by default. When this flag is set to true, the list is treated as empty, meaning that the global exclude patterns are not considered. Therefore, it is necessary to set artifactory.repo.default.includeExclude.globalExcludes.empty.list=false in order for the global exclude patterns to be taken into account.
Every change to the artifactory.system.properties file requires a restart of Artifactory for the changes to take effect.
Notes
- This property is set by default to restrict the following patterns in Artifactory:
artifactory.repo.includeExclude.globalExcludes=**/*~,**/#*#,**/.#*,**/%*%,**/._*,**/CVS,**/CVS/**,**/.cvsignore,**/SCCS,**/SCCS/**,**/vssver.scc,**/.svn,**/.svn/**,**/.DS_Store
Adding new patterns to the property will override the existing default configuration. To preserve these patterns, the property should include both the desired new patterns and the default ones. I.e.:
**/*~,**/#*#,**/.#*,**/%*%,**/._*,**/CVS,**/CVS/**,**/.cvsignore,**/SCCS,**/SCCS/**,**/vssver.scc,**/.svn,**/.svn/**,**/.DS_Store,**/terra*/**,**/test*/**
