Active relevance option

You can add an active relevance option. To do so, perform the following steps.

1. Under Enable, select Active Relevance option from the drop-down list in Use Scan Results to Enhance Alert Relevance Accuracy? field.
2. The Manager queries the Vulnerability Manager database for the real-time lookup of the relevancy data. Unlike Passive Relevance, when Active Relevance option is configured, the Manager does not lookup for relevancy for every alert received into Manager alert queue from the Sensor. When the alert is received from IPS Sensor, Relevancy is set to "Pending" state initially. After a minute, relevancy for these alerts with pending state are updated by performing a relevancy lookup from Vulnerability Manager database.

   Note

   In addition to the current Relevancy cache, the Manager maintains a separate cache for the relevancy data returned by the stored procedure for the destination IPs.

3. Click Save to save your settings. The screen is refreshed and you get an update that the changes have been updated.
