Title: Does the prompt "We strongly advise you to use policies..."
Post by: tempdefault122 on January 28, 2026, 01:09:43 PM
I changed some rules from alert to drop individually at first before I figured how to use policies. There is the text "We strongly advice you to use policies instead of single rule adjustment" or similar.

Is it normal that the text stays there or should it dissappear once you've changed all the rules to their default? I changed each one back to alert by hand, since there is no reset all to default button? I don't see any rules with drop action anymore using the search, but the text is still there.

I think that message is just a general recommendation and not dynamically removed after rule changes. If there are no drop actions left in the rules, the configuration should already be fine.

The fact that the warning message is still there is normal, but it doesn't necessarily mean you still have a rule drop. The bigger issue lies in how you manage the system configuration and design, not just a UI message. Do you think this is more important?
