customize advisor rules
The advisor should be customizable (ignore rule / change weighting) - many of the suggestions could be obsolete - and some of them seem to me to be advertising rather then advice (especially some points with "big score reward).
some examples
a domain is used in plesk only for email or dns. The a-record points to another system which is secured by ssl - but the advisor tells me it is not ??? It should do a real check - not look into the database. Or marked as "done" or "ignore".
my plesk server is shielded by a firewall and ddos protection already. So it would be useless to install the plesk firewall or mod security - but the advisor tells me so...
my favorite: I should install the wordpress toolkit to monitor my wordpress instances ... Instead I should get a reward of 10000000000 points for not using wordpress at all.
while I'm typing this, I'm reading about ClamAV on the right site - but no advice by the advisor - only imunifyAv ...
activate automated system updates: these are activated. But invisible for plesk (ansible/awx) - so how can I tell this the advisor?
same with backups: they're done without plesks knowledge... So how to turn this point to green?
In total, I like the extension. But I always have to review all suggestions, because I cant's see by the status if there was a change or not, because it's always red....

It's really not all that important, but it would be nice to maintain a perfect score. I guess it's more of an ego thing than an important thing. :-)

I have over 20 Plesk extensions that are great, but I have three non-Plesk solutions that are better for me than the Plesk Solution. (see details below) These point deductions are the only thing that keeps me from a perfect score.

Here are three reasons I hope you will consider my suggestion:I keep getting the following three score deductions. Otherwise, I would have a perfect score.
1. Schedule server backups to Acronis Cloud-
Problem/Solution – I tried the paid version of Acronis Cloud, but I decided on a more straightforward solution and backup daily in my own (3TB) Dropbox.
–I got it covered.2. Schedule automatic backups of clients' websites to remote storage.
Problem/Solution – I do that now with the Solution mentioned in 1 above.
–IOW - I got this covered too.3. Use the Plesk Email Security Extension.
Problem/Solution – I use a more robust solution in the paid full version of Warden Anti-spam and Virus Protection, which is incompatible with, nor in need of, Plesk Email Security.
–I got this covered also.I wish there were a way to turn off these three recommendations.
Thanks for listening.
