Feature request: Add package exclusion to the host/group of hosts

In some cases, we do not want to update some packages (kernel, docker, etc.). We should be able to configure those exlusions in the application and the report should take that into account (like 100% updates (xx excluded))
Let me know if you need more information about this.
Thanks!

+1 Would help when Patchmon wants to update a package that can't be updated for some reason, such as a legacy software issue or misunderstanding what Windows components can actually be updated.

Thinking more on it, I would say the delete should do it for all hosts, and the exclude could be for individual hosts

In my case, I created an exclusion table for a odd package that was created while attempting to update a package on multiple hosts, so it excludes it for all.... I had a odd package pop up named "Updating" on three hosts, by creating the exclusion table, it cleared it up on all three.

Hi, thanks you for this idea. The package exclusion is for all host or only some hosts?

+1 - being able to "lock"/exclude certain applications/packages to specific versions, in my case dotnet8 and RHEL9,6 would be awesome!
If this feature was present i would jump right in.

Hi, I can see where this might be valuable for reporting purposes etc. I have added it on the list of things to implement.
