Flowchart: Trafficflow through the UTM?

Question

Hello
is there a flowchart or something that shows how (which order and so on) the traffic is processed by the UTM?

That would be helpful to check where stuff might get stuck and in what logs to look

Thanks for any advice

You've probably seen what I call Rule #2:

In general, a packet arriving at an interface is handled only by one of the following, in order:
DNATs first, then VPNs and Proxies and, finally, manual Routes and Firewall rules.

You can see this in this diagram from the ACA V8 Manual:
