We need to exclude access to certain log files from Dynatrace. There is any method to excluding?

Hello,

Yes, you can exclude some logs from monitoring using ingest rules. please check the below document for further details.

You need to block ingesting of those logs, or limit the user access to query those logs? 

Both possibilities are there:

* In case of ingest. In Settings, Log Ingest Rules -> you can create a exclude rule with the condition of log source, or log content or other values.

* If you need to filter at query level, ingest but only some users can read them, you can use the security context  or bucket to later  create policy permission and only the users with the policy can read those logs if are ingested into Dynatrace.
