Hi,

I've a server for OSSEC and several agents.
One of the agents is monitoring a JBOSS server, and sometimes it blocks 
traffic with a false posive firing rule 31533:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Received From: (netp) 192.168.222->/var/log/nginx/access.log
Rule: 31533 fired (level 10) -> "High amount of POST requests in a small 
period of time (likely bot)."
Portion of the log(s):

192.168.100.150 - - [14/Nov/2014:13:10:02 +0000] "POST 
/netpa/DIFTasks?&_AP_=3&_MD_=1&_SR_=DIRAL&_ST_=2&cdDocente=

"-"
........
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to make that OSSEC (or the Agent on that server) to ignore those 
warnings. On the server I've added this to the local_rules.xml. This first 
rule (100001) doesn't seams to work. I'm still waiting for the results on 
rule 100002.

<group name="web,appsec,attack">

  <rule id="100001" level="0">
    <if_sid>31533</if_sid>
    <dstip>192.168.222</dstip>
    <description>Rule that will igore: High amount of POST requests in a 
small period of time (likely bot).</description>
  </rule>
  <rule id="100002" level="0">
    <if_sid>31533</if_sid>
    <url>/netpa/DIFTasks</url>
    <regex> "POST /netpa/DIFTasks?\S</regex>
    <description>Rule that will igore: High amount of POST requests in a 
small period of time (likely bot).</description>
  </rule>

</group>

Is this the correct way to do this? This will work? If not how can I make 
it work?

Best regards,

António Godinho
