Defining and Customizing Device Logging Policy
Device Logging policy determines, at the device level, what types of transactions carried out by the
Identification and Upstream Proxy Policies, will be logged.
M86 Security provides a single, predefined Device Logging Policy having several rules.
You can set different device logging policies for different devices.
This task consists of the following procedures:
•
Defining a Device Logging Policy
•
Defining a Rule in a Device Logging Policy
•
Defining a Device Logging Policy
NOTE:
You
cannot
edit
a
pre
supplied
Device
Logging
Policy.
However,
you
can
duplicate
such
a
policy
and
edit
the
duplicate;
you
can
also
create
a
Device
Logging
policy
from
scratch.
Â
To define a Device Logging Policy
1. Select
Policies
Æ
Device
Logging
.
2. Do one of the following:
• To create a policy from scratch, right click the
Policies
root node in the tree, and choose
Add
Policy
.
• To duplicate a Device Logging policy, right click the policy in the tree that you want to dupli‐
cate, and choose
Duplicate
Policy
.
• To edit a Device Logging policy that you previously created from scratch or created by dupli‐
cating, select the policy in the tree, and then in the main window, click the
Edit
button.
The Policy Definition is displayed in the main window.
3. Enter a name for the policy.
4. Add or modify the policy description as needed. The description is optional.
5. When done, click
Save
.
6. Continue with
Defining a Rule in a Device Logging Policy
.
Defining a Rule in a Device Logging Policy
If you duplicated a policy, it already has the same rules as were found in the original policy. You can
edit these rules. You can also create new rules from scratch.
NOTE:
Rules
in
a
policy
are
checked
sequentially
from
the
top,
and
the
first
rule
to
be
activated
in
a
policy
determines
the
handling
of
the
content.
Therefore,
the
sequential
placement
of
rules
in
a
policy
is
significant.
For
instructions
on
moving
a
rule
within
a
policy,
