QUESTION

Can I ignore multiple files using the Panther Analysis Tool (PAT) --ignore-files flag?

ANSWER

Yes! You can ignore multiple files by specifying the --ignore-files flag multiple times in the same command.

For example:

PAT --ignore-files lookup_tables/ignore_1.yml 
--ignore-files lookup_tables/ignore_2.yml

This will cause PAT to ignore both files during execution.

At this time, the --ignore-files flag only supports exact file paths. Ignoring entire directories or using wildcards (for example, lookup_tables/*) is not currently supported.
