Antivirus Blocks Icinga

Service Monitoring
1

Hi,
I’m currently running Icinga Powershell Agent on multiple servers (Windows 2016, 2022).
All of them are running Bitdefender Gravity Zone.
For some reason Bitdefender blocks the Check for Exchange Services on one of them (Other Servers run Service Checks, too, without a problem).

Now I’m trying to figure out which exception to set - as I don’t want to set an general exception for the powershell.exe for obvious reasons.

Did someone run into this problem already?

I already tried to exclude the icinga-service.exe and icinga2.exe but it still get’s blocked.

I have the same problem with Crowdstrike. I’ve had to add exceptions for every single aspect of Icinga, as CS just sees it as malware. Both for when service checks are running and also installing Icinga PowerShell Framework. It’s been a nightmare.
