Scan Configuration lets you override, per provider, specific values in the default configuration Prowler's checks use during a scan. Each configuration modifies how specific checks behave, e.g.: thresholds, allowed values, retention windows, and you attach it to the providers that you want to use it on their next scan.

### Limiting the Scan Scope
|

|
||||
<VersionBadge version="5.35.0" />
|

|
||||
Use `excluded_checks` to skip individual checks and `excluded_services` to skip every check in a service for the matching provider type:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
aws:
|
||||
excluded_checks:
|
||||
- s3_bucket_public_access
|
||||
excluded_services:
|
||||
- ec2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<Warning>
|
||||
When a Scan Configuration excludes checks or services, Prowler calculates overviews, aggregations, and other result-based information from the reduced scan scope. The displayed information reflects only the checks and services that ran, not a complete assessment of the provider. Consider the applied Scan Configuration when interpreting totals and security posture.
