off things like `atime`
Doing so can cause a surprising bump in throughput. Edit the `/etc/fstab` file
and for the partition(s) of interest, add the `noatime` option.
+== Recommended Antivirus Exclusions
+Antivirus software can take a long time to scan large directories and the
numerous files within them. Additionally, if the antivirus software locks files
or directories during a scan, those resources are unavailable to NiFi
processes, causing latency or unavailability of these resources in a NiFi
instance/cluster. To prevent these performance and reliability issues from
occurring, it is highly recommended to configure your antivirus software to
skip scans on the following NiFi directories:
+
+* `content_repository`
+* `flowfile_repository`
+* `logs`
+* `provenance_repository`
+* `state`
+
[[security_configuration]]
