Issue

  • After ARW attack, clear-suspect is performed by marking the affected extensions as false positives:

::> security anti-ransomware volume attack clear-suspect -vserver SVM1 -volume vol1 -false-positive true -extensions testlog, pdf, tmp

  • However, even after that, the extensions are reported in the "Newly Observed File Extensions" section of the workload behaviour output:

::> security anti-ransomware volume workload-behavior show -vserver SVM1 -volume vol1

                                         Vserver: SVM1
                                          Volume: vol1
