On 2.7.1 when running "./syscheck_control -i #" for my servers, recently I started seeing lots of messages:

System Audit: File '/dev/.blkid.tab' present on /dev. Possible hidden file.

Is there a way to suppress/ignore this?

Thanks,

Is that from an alert?

I'm not looking at the alerts - I'm only looking at the "syscheck -i" output for these systems.  For other noise in this output, I adjusted the shared rules (/var/ossec/etc/shared/*).  I don't see anything in /var/ossec/etc/shared/* that corresponds with this system audit message.

I took a moment to look at the code, and without spending too much
time tracking it down, it looks kinda built in. If this message is
causing you a lot of issues, you could probably adjust the code a bit
to make it non-critical or something.
