# Excluding functions from Lambda code scanning
<a name="scanning_resources_lambda_code_exclude_functions"></a>

 You can add tags to Lambda functions, so you can exclude them from Amazon Inspector Lambda code scans. Excluding functions from scans can prevent unactionable alerts. When you tag a function for exclusion, the tag must have the following key-value pair. 
+  Key – `InspectorCodeExclusion` 
+  Value – `LambdaCodeScanning` 

 This topic describes how to tag a function for exclusion from code scans. For more information about adding tags in Lambda, see [Using tags on Lambda functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-tags.html).
