Chapter 21      Managing Rules in an Intrusion Policy 
  Managing FireSIGHT Rule State Recommendations
If you have unsaved changes in another policy, click 
OK
 to discard those changes and continue. See 
 for information on saving unsaved changes in another 
policy.
The Policy Information page appears.
Step 3
You have two options:
  •
If you have not generated recommendations, select 
No recommendations have been generated. Click here 
to set up 
FireSIGHT
 recommendations
.
  •
If you have generated recommendations, select 
Click to change recommendations
.
The FireSIGHT Recommended Rules Configuration page appears.
Step 4
You have the following choices:
  •
To have the corresponding intrusion policy report list the rule message, recommended state, and 
actual state for all rules whose actual state differs from the recommended state, select
 Include all 
differences between recommendations and rule states in policy reports
 for more information.
  •
To generate recommendations using the default settings, go to step 
  •
To modify the advanced recommendations options, go to step 
.
Step 5
Click the plus icon (
) to expand the 
Advanced Settings
 section.
The advanced FireSIGHT recommendations options appear.
Step 6
In the 
Networks
 field, specify the network to examine for recommendations.
For information on using IP address notation in the FireSIGHT System, see 
.
Note that lists of addresses are linked with an OR operation except for negations, which are linked with 
an AND operation after all OR operations are calculated. See 
 for more information. 
Step 7
Optionally, drag the 
Recommendation Threshold (By Rule Overhead)
 slide bar to specify the amount of 
overhead a rule must have to be included in the recommendations you generate.
Dragging the slide bar to the right includes rules with higher overhead and will likely result in more 
recommendations, but may increasingly affect system performance. See 
 for more information.
Step 8
You have the following options:
  •
To generate recommendations to disable rules, select the 
Accept Recommendations to Disable Rules
 
check box.
Note that accepting recommendations to disable rules restricts your rule coverage.
  •
To prevent generating recommendations to disable rules, clear the 
Accept Recommendations to Disable 
Rules
 check box.
Note that omitting recommendations to disable rules augments your rule coverage.
Step 9
You have several options:
  •
Click 
Generate and Use Recommendations
 if you have not yet generated recommendations and want the 
system to change your rule states automatically to the recommended states while generating 
recommendations. 
The system generates recommended rule state changes and automatically sets rules to the 
recommended states.
