No problems, I hope it helps. 🙂

Maybe these could offer some clarity:

- [6.1. Rules Format — Suricata 7.0.0-rc1-dev documentation](https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules/intro.html#action)
- [9.7. Ignoring Traffic — Suricata 7.0.0-rc1-dev documentation](https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/performance/ignoring-traffic.html?highlight=ignoring%20traffic#pass-rules)

Oh, I just saw this answer that is about pass rules, too: [In Suricata IDS mode. is it possible to block/drop/pass good traffic so it will not be seen in kibana? - #15 by sscally](https://forum.suricata.io/t/in-suricata-ids-mode-is-it-possible-to-block-drop-pass-good-traffic-so-it-will-not-be-seen-in-kibana/1666/15)

Good luck with your learning journey!
