Can I have the LinkValidator scheduled task to only validate internal links?
Can you add something to the settings config for linkValidation within excludePatterns

I came here to post a link to my blog post, and say this can be achieved using the exclude pattern – but Minesh is way faster than me! 😆
Try this pattern to exclude all links starting with http:// or https:// – i.e. all external links.
^http(s)?:\/\/.*

Thanks! Is this the correct json?
"EpiServer": {
"Cms": {
"LinkValidatorOptions": {
"ExcludePatterns": [ "^http(s)?:\/\/.*" ]
}
}Seems to try to validate external links anyway.
Also, I see that there is a lot of old links in the report, how can I clear the report?

To clear the report, you may (at your own risk) update the database directly.
UPDATE tblContentSoftlink SET LastCheckedDate = NULL, FirstDateBroken = NULL, HttpStatusCode = NULL, LinkStatus = NULL

Hi!
Our intranet does not an internet connection so validating external links is useless. Is there a way using the LinkValidatorOptions to the task only validating internal links and skipping all externals?
Thanks!
