How Do I Handle Unsafe Configurations?¶
HSS automatically performs a configuration detection for servers. You can repair unsafe configuration items or ignore the configuration items you trust based on the detection result.
Modifying unsafe configuration items
View details about a detection rule, verify the detection result based on the audit description, and handle the exception based on the modification recommendation.
You are advised to repair the configurations with a high threat level immediately. The configurations with a medium or low threat level can be fixed later based on service requirements.
Ignoring trusted configuration items
Log in to the management console.
Click
in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > Host Security Service.In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota.
Note
If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select the target enterprise project to view or operate the asset and detection information.
On the Servers tab, click the name of a server to view its details. Choose Baseline Checks > Unsafe Configurations.
Locate a baseline item, click
in front of its name to expand the check items, and click Ignore in the Operation column of an item. You can also select multiple detection rules and click Ignore in the upper part of the page to ignore them in batches.
To unignore an ignored detection rule, click Unignore in the Operation column. You can also select multiple ignored detection rules and click Unignore in the upper part of the page to unignore them in batches.
Verification
After a configuration item is fixed, you are advised to click Verify in the Operation column. After the verification, check the fix result.
