For AI agents: The documentation index is at https://docs.digitalocean.com/llms.txt. Markdown versions of pages use the same URL with index.html.md in place of the HTML page (for example, append index.html.md to the directory path instead of opening the HTML document).

You can suppress findings for specific resources that are not relevant to your environment. Suppression keeps the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) rule enabled but prevents findings for the selected resources from appearing. Other resources evaluated by the same rule are not affected, and the underlying security condition is not resolved.

Suppression is available only in paid plans.

To disable a rule for your entire team instead of excluding specific resources, use Managed Rules.

Suppress Findings from the Issue List

1. In the Control Panel, click Security in the left menu.

   The Security page opens with the CSPM tab selected.

2. Locate the issue you want to suppress.

3. Click the … “more options” menu next to the issue, then click Suppress.

4. In the Suppression Confirmation window, select the checkbox next to each resource you want to suppress. You can select one resource, multiple resources, or click Select All to suppress every resource affected by the rule.

5. Click Confirm Suppressions.

Suppress Findings from Issue Details

1. Click an issue to open the issue details view.

2. In the Affected Resources section, locate the resource you want to suppress.

3. Click the … “more options” menu next to the resource, then click Suppress.

4. In the Suppression Confirmation window, select the checkbox next to each resource you want to suppress.

5. Click Confirm Suppressions.

The selected resources are excluded from findings for that rule. The rule remains enabled for other applicable resources.

Suppression Results

After you suppress a resource for a rule:

• The finding no longer appears in your active findings.
• The resource no longer appears on the CSPM home page for that rule.
• The suppressed finding does not count toward your overall security score.
• CSPM continues to scan the resource, and the resource remains included in your paid coverage and billing.

Suppressing a resource does not remove it from your CSPM plan. To stop scanning and billing for a workload, disable its coverage.

Remove Suppression

1. In the Control Panel, click Security in the left menu.

   The Security page opens with the CSPM tab selected.

2. Click the CSPM Settings tab.

3. Next to Suppressions, click Edit.

   The Suppressions view lists each suppressed resource with its issue, who suppressed it, and when it was suppressed.

4. Select the checkbox next to each resource you want to restore. To find a specific suppression, use the search field to filter by resource or issue. To restore everything, click Select All.

5. Click Unsuppress.

If the underlying condition still exists, the finding immediately returns after you remove the suppression.
