22 Looking at FAQ in:
23 https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/ModSecurity-Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ)
24
25 Should I initially set the SecRuleEngine to On?
26
27 No. Every Ruleset can have false positive in new environments and any
28 new installation should initially use the log only Ruleset version or if
29 no such version is available, set ModSecurity to Detection only using
30 the SecRuleEngine DetectionOnly command. After running ModSecurity in a
31 detection only mode for a while review the evens generated and decide if
32 any modification to the rule set should be made before moving to
33 protection mode.
