MARS: Tweaking rules on subnets internal to firewall to be less sensitive

[baskervi]

The MARS alerts are firing as rapidly on the internal networks as they do for external networks. Is there a global command to make the MARS less sensitive to hits from the internal subnets, or does a rule have to be customized? Thanks again.

You could create a MARS drop rule to ignore messages where the src = internal network(s). That is certainly not how I would recommend tuning your environment, but it will cut down on the number of incidents;-) It sounds to me like the devices reporting into MARS could use some tuning.
