Ability to whitelist files

Please consider the ability to whitelist and/or ignore certain files in the Diagnostics / System Check.

There are files that are normal and accepted in a WP installation, such as legitimate error logs.

This would avoid getting the diagnostics fail indication, as below.

Many thanks!

File integrity check failed and reported some errors. You should fix this issue and then refresh this page until it shows no error.

Files were found in your Matomo but we didn’t expect them.
–> Please delete these files to prevent errors. <–

File to delete: error_log

Hi,

This is already possible here:

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/ba06f0aa8ccc4e15f2bc877c6f30ef4ac09627ab/config/global.php#L92


/**
 * By setting this option to false, the check that the DB schema version matches the version of the source code will be no longer performed.
 * Thus it allows you to execute for example a newer version of Matomo with an older Matomo database version. Please note
 * disabling this setting is not recommended because often an older DB version is not compatible with newer source code.
 * If you disable this setting, make sure to execute the updates after updating the source code. The setting can be useful if
 * you want to update Matomo without any outage when you know the current source code update will still run fine for a short time
 * while in the background the database updates are running.

If you want to you can make a Pull Request that add error_log after line 129.
