Is there any way to customize the BPA in Azure ARC for SQL to exclude certain checks or to flag issues as false positives? I've got certain issues being flagged by the BPA however these can't be resolved as the application accessing the database requires this. Anybody have a solution on how to customize the assessment so that these issues are no longer showing up on the BPA?

Hi Berend Broekhoff,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand, you want to know about Customer Best Practices Assessment: exclude checks/false positives.
I am checking on the ask internally and will get back here.
Thanks
Hi Berend Broekhoff,
We haven't heard back from you. In case you already found a solution, would you please share it here with the community? Otherwise, let us know and we will continue to engage with you on the issue.

Hi Berend Broekhoff,
Thanks for your patience.
Could you please refer to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-arc-blog/evaluate-sql-server-configuration-using-best-practices/ba-p/3773382 and check if this could fulfill your requirement.
Let us know if you have a different ask.
Thanks
Hi Shakti, thanks for you support. The link provided shows how to resolves issues from the BPA, and then rerunning the assessment so it shows up as resolved. My customer is running an application called Chipsoft HiX, which requires certain SQL configurations that are not allowed to be altered and are showing up in the BPA as [issues] as these are not in line with MS best practices. Is there any way to have these (manually?) show up as [false positives] or something along these lines, so that the BPA isn't constantly flagging them as unresolved issues.
