Hi all!
Still fairly new to Cortex XDR. Currently trying to make some sensible alert automation rules.
I have a specifik alert that puzzles me. I get some "FTH/SSH client reads office files" alerts. I have a legitimate use case for this, so I want to automatically resolve these alerts for a particular set of hosts.
But ... I am not able to create an automation rule from this alert. Furthermore, these alerts do not even show up, if I try to create an Automation Rule from scratch.
Only difference I can see from all other alerts, is that the alertname has an forward slash "/" in the alert name.

Hello @aholdt
Thanks for reaching out on LiveCommunity!
Automation rules only apply to alerts that are grouped into incidents by the system. Most alerts with low and informational severity do not allow an automation rule to be automatically executed on them. Looks like your alert has low severity and it do not qualify for automation rules.
As an alternate, You can create an exclusion rule by choosing multiple unique parameters for this specific use case.
Below is the reference guide for automation rules.
