Rerun NSX Intelligence Recommendations

If the change detected icon appears next to a Ready to Publish, No Recommendations Available, or Failed status, review the changes in the original scope of the NSX Intelligence recommendation input entities. Rerun the recommendation analysis, if needed.

The change detected icon indicates that some change occurred with the input entities that were used to generate the previous NSX Intelligence recommendation. If at least one of the following occurs, the change detected icon appears in the Recommendations table, next to the affected recommendation.

• New effective members were added or removed from the original selected entities that were used to generate the NSX Intelligence recommendation.

• If the "applied to the scope" of the security policy changed from the value that was used at the start of the NSX Intelligence recommendation process.

Prerequisites

• You must have previously generated an NSX Intelligence recommendation. See Generate a New NSX Intelligence Recommendation.

• Ensure you have the required privileges to rerun NSX Intelligence recommendations. See Role-Based Access Control in NSX Intelligence for more information.

Procedure

1. From your browser, log in with the required privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
2. Select Plan & Troubleshoot > Recommendations.
3. To review and rerun the NSX Intelligence recommendation, select one of the following methods.

   • Click the change detected icon on the right-side of the status and select Rerun Recommendation.

   • Click the three-dot menu on the leftmost side of the recommendation's row and select Review & Rerun.

4. Review the changes in the Review and Rerun dialog box.

   A dialog box similar to the following is displayed.

   
   

   

   
   

   The visualization graph in the top half of the dialog box shows the compute entities that were added or removed since the previous recommendation was generated. A compute entity node with the gray border indicates it was removed from the scope of the recommendation boundary. A node with the green border indicates the new compute entity was added in the scope of the recommendation boundary.

   1. Click the All Flows and All Members tabs to review the flows and compute entities considered for generating the recommendation.
   2. To review any changes in the compute entities used as input entities, click the Added Members or Removed Members tab.
5. (Optional) If you want to change to the original compute entities used as the boundary for the previous recommendation analysis, click the Rerun Settings tab and modify the settings as necessary.
6. To exit the dialog box without generating another recommendation analysis, click Dismiss.
7. To generate another recommendation analysis, click Rerun Recommendation.

Results

After you select Rerun Recommendation, the previously generated recommendation is deleted and cannot be restored. The NSX Intelligence feature regenerates the recommendation using the modified input entities as the recommendation boundary. Newly detected flows and compute entities for the selected time period are also included in the recommendation analysis. Traffic flows for compute entities that were deleted from the original input entities are not considered in the analysis.

What to do next

After the new recommendation has the Ready to Publish status, review the recommendation using the information in Review and Publish Generated NSX Intelligence Recommendations.
