In this example, we are going to create a suppression rule to suppress VPC Flow Logs events Any traffic or data exchange detected by LevelBlue products through a sensor or external devices such as a firewall.. This way you will avoid noise in your list of events.

To create a VPC Flow Logs Suppression Rule

1. Go to Activity > Events.
2. Enter VPC in the search field.
3. Click the icon.
4. Select one of the events.
5. Select Create Rule > Create Suppression Rule.

7. (Optional.) Click Add Group to group your conditions.

   Note: See Operators in the Orchestration Rules for more information.

8. In the Occurrences text box, enter the number of event occurrences that you want to produce a match on the conditional expression to trigger the rule.

   You can enter the number of occurrences or use the arrows to scroll the value up or down. You can enter a number between 1 and 100.

9. Click Next.

   

   Important: A dialog box opens if there are warning messages. Click Cancel to review the warning messages, or click Accept to continue creating the rule.

10. Enter a name for the rule, for example Suppress VPC Flow Logs.
11. (Optional.) Enter a description for identifying this rule.

12. In the Length text box, specify the timespan that you want to use to identify a match for multiple occurrences. Enter the number in the text box, and then use the drop-down menu to select a value of seconds, minutes, or hours.

    This duration identifies the amount of time that transpires from the beginning to the end of the occurrence. If the number of occurrences is not met within this period, the rule is not a match.

Note: Your defined length and occurrences function together to specify the number of occurrences within a time period that will produce a match for the rule. For example, you can define a rule to trigger an alarm Alarms provide notification of an event or sequence of events that require attention or investigation. for an unauthorized access An incident-type categorization that may be a precursor to other actions or stages of an attack. attempt when a failed SSH Program to securely log into another computer over a network, execute commands in a remote machine, and move files from one machine to another through Secure Copy (SCP). login Log in (verb): Process in which an individual gains access to a computer system after providing sufficient credentials to authenticate their unique identity.
