Hi Juan Felipe! Thank you for sharing with the community

To whitelist or ignore false positive alerts associated with the opera.exe navigator in Wazuh, you can follow these steps:

  • Access the Wazuh manager dashboard.
  • Navigate to the 'Rules' section.
  • Search for the rule that generates the false positive alerts for opera.exe.
  • Edit the rule and add an exception or whitelist condition for the specific path 'AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe'.
  • Save the changes and apply the updated rule.
By adding this exception, the Wazuh manager will no longer generate alerts for the specified path, effectively ignoring the false positive alerts in your dashboard.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Best regards,
Diego

Hi Juan Felipe!

Got it. Please let me share our documentation for Changing an existing rule -> https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/ruleset/custom.html#changing-an-existing-rule

I think it can be helpful for your request. Feel free to update if you had any doubts.
