Potential false positives

edit

Valid clusters or instances may be stopped by a system administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment. Cluster or instance stoppages from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
