Excluding drifted properties

To stop flags and alerts for specific properties of a drifted asset, exclude the properties from Firefly drift detection.

Procedure

1. In Firefly, go to the left pane > Settings > Excluded Drifts.

2. To search for a specific rule, use the Search bar.

3. To exclude the properties of the asset from Firefly drift detection (stop flags and alerts), turn on the toggle for an existing rule.

When your VCS is integrated with Firefly, we ignore the drifted properties in your Terraform code for any asset containing ignore_changes in the lifecycle meta argument.

Creating a new drift exclusion

You can disable drift detection for selected properties.

Procedure

1. Go to the left pane > Inventory.

2. Select Drifted in the row of the desired asset, or select the kebab > Drift Details > Exclude Drift.
3. Select:

   • Scope: The number of assets you want to exclude from the selected properties

   • Properties: The properties you want to exclude from the asset

   • Providers: The providers you want to exclude from the asset

4. Select Exclude.

These changes take effect only after Firefly re-scans the affected assets.
