Viewing and Processing Recommendations

Locate and resolve the highest priority problems that Cloud Guard has detected.

The way that you access the Recommendations page determines what recommendations are listed there:

  • Directly: Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Cloud Guard, click Recommendations. All recommendations are listed.
  • Indirectly: Click an option on the Overview page or elsewhere, which automatically filters the recommendations list to display a subset of recommendations.

After you're on the Recommendations page, all the same options are available.

The Recommendations page displays the following information for each recommendation listed:

  • Recommendations: Text identifying the recommendation.
  • Total: The total number of instances of the problem to which the recommendation applies.

  • To view and process recommendations, follow these steps:

    1. Access the Recommendations page in one of the following ways:
      • Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Cloud Guard, click Recommendations.
      • Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Cloud Guard, click Overview. On theSecurity recommendations tile, click the View recommendations link.
    2. To change the scope of compartments for which recommendations are listed:
      1. Under Scope, select a different compartment.
      2. Clear the Include all child compartments check box to narrow the scope to only the compartment selected, excluding any compartments below it in the compartment hierarchy.
    3. To view the description of a recommendation, click the Expand icon Image of Expand icon at the right end.
    4. To process the recommendation for the instances of a problem:
      1. Open its Actions menu Image of Action menu and select View problem.

        The Problems page opens, filtered to list only problem instances for this recommendation.

      2. Follow the instructions in Resolving a Problem to complete your processing of the recommendation.
        Tip

        When multiple problems are listed, you can probably select all and process them the same way in one step, because they are all instances of the same problem.
      3. To return to the Recommendations page, click your browser's Back button.
