File policy rule targeting application protocol "Any" may never be triggered due to Application selection

[Thomas Winther]

I have a few Access Rules where I want to apply a file policy for hits on specific applications.

When I try that, I get the following Rule Warning:

"File policy rule targeting application protocol "Any" may never be triggered due to Application selection."

My application selection is ie. "Microsoft download", "Microsoft Update", "cURL", "Wget" etc...

My goal is to apply a less restrictive file policy for those applications.

Do you know how to achieve this?

Or where to find more guidance on Rule Warnings and Info. A bit deeper than FireSIGHT System User Guide, please.

I found out that file inspection can not be done on applications so simply removing file inspection from the rule solved my problem.
