From the Cortex XDR management console, you can review
and manage all alert exclusions.
The
Incident Response
Incident
Configuration
Alerts Exclusions
page
displays all alert exclusion policies in
Cortex
XDR
.
An alert exclusion is a policy that contains a set
of alert match criteria that you want to suppress from
Cortex
XDR
. You can Add an Alert Exclusion Policy from scratch
or you can base the exclusion off of alerts that you investigate
in an incident. After you create an exclusion policy,
Cortex
XDR
excludes and no longer saves any of
the future alerts that match the criteria from incidents and search
query results. If you choose to apply the policy to historic results
as well as future alerts, the app identifies the historic alerts
as grayed out.
The following table describes both the default fields and additional
optional fields that you can add to the alert exclusions table and
lists the fields in alphabetical order.
