Please, add the wildcard modifier for <exclude> list of services[<type>,<state>,<exclude>] Zabbix Agent item key. I noticed that now some software providers started to add version number to the service name. Due to this it is very complex to maintain the list of excluded services. It is required continuously to add new service names to that list.
Good example is "GoogleUpdater" services coming with Google products. It was started from "gupdate,gupdatem". But now it looks like below (and not limited, because it will grow up in future with another versions added):
gupdate
gupdatem
GoogleUpdaterInternalService122.0.6253.0
GoogleUpdaterService122.0.6253.0
GoogleUpdaterInternalService122.0.6253.8
GoogleUpdaterService122.0.6253.8
GoogleUpdaterInternalService122.0.6253.9
GoogleUpdaterService122.0.6253.9
GoogleUpdaterInternalService123.0.6268.0
GoogleUpdaterService123.0.6268.0
GoogleUpdaterInternalService123.0.6268.6
GoogleUpdaterService123.0.6268.6
GoogleUpdaterInternalService123.0.6284.0
GoogleUpdaterService123.0.6284.0
...
Using the wildcard (* or another one) will simplify this list to:
"gupdate,gupdatem,GoogleUpdaterInternalService*,GoogleUpdaterService*"
