Rules and policy actions effect on logging

Rules and policy actions effect on logging is a traffic handling mechanism that

  • determines how the system inspects and handles matching traffic,

  • controls when and how details about matching traffic can be logged, and

  • provides metadata about why the connection was logged, including which configurations handled the traffic.

Connection event metadata

Connection events contain metadata about why the connection was logged, including which configurations handled the traffic. Where you can configure connection logging, rule actions, and policy default actions determine not only how the system inspects and handles matching traffic, but also when and how you can log details about matching traffic.
