You can disable a rule if you have started to define but have not completed it. Disabled rules are not processed by the sensor until they are enabled.
We recommend disabling the rules in the following scenarios:
If you have started to define a rule, but have not completed it.
If you would like to confirm the rule first with another administrator.
If you need to temporarily allow an action that is normally forbidden.
On the Rules page, click the vPatch Rules or Custom Rules tab.
In the rules list, click the enable icon
in the required row.The rule is disabled and disable icon
is displayed.Click Save.
Tip
To disable multiple rules, filter the rules list to display all rules or only the rules that you want to disable. Click Disable all rules in the Actions drop-down list.
