  Managing FireSIGHT Rule State Recommendations
  •
Click 
Generate Recommendations
 if you want the system to generate recommendations without 
changing your rule states automatically to the recommended states. 
The system generates recommended rule state changes. 
  •
If you have generated recommendations before, 
Update Recommendations
 to update existing 
recommendations. 
The system generates recommended rule state changes and, if recommendations are in use, 
automatically sets rules to the recommended states. The status updates for the number of 
recommendations, the number of hosts with recommended rule state changes, and the number of 
recommendations to generate events, drop and generate events, or disable rules.
  •
If you have generated recommendations before, click 
Use Recommendations
 to use recommendations 
that you have generated but have not used. 
The system automatically sets rules to the recommended states.
  •
If you have generated and are already using recommendations, 
Do Not Use Recommendations
 to stop 
using recommendations currently in use. 
The system automatically resets rules to the default rule states unless a specific rule state was 
applied to the rule before using recommendations; in that case, the rule reverts to the specific rule 
state.
Note that the system does not recommend a rule state for an intrusion rule that is based on a vulnerability 
that you disable using the Impact Qualification feature. For more information, see 
.
Note also that updating the policy to use or not use recommendations may take several minutes, 
depending on the size of your network and rule set.
Note
The system always recommends that you enable a local rule associated with a third-party 
vulnerability mapped to a host. The system does not make state recommendations for unmapped 
local rules. For more information, see 
Step 10
Optionally, click 
View
 next to a recommendation type to display a recommendations-filtered view of the 
Rules page for the type of recommendation you selected.
Step 11
Save your policy, continue editing, discard your changes, or exit while leaving your changes in the 
system cache. See the 
 table for more information.
