Is there a way to capture the exception list name in the logs?

Ashley A

While looking through Web Filtering logs in our UTM it provides a lot of information but does not appear to list the name of the exception list that its using to pass traffic. Is there a way to capture this data? It would be great to be able to filter on rule name when viewing logs.

    Exceptions are cumulative.   The exception configuration for any single website may be derived from multiple Exception objects.   Instead the exceptions="list" token identifies all of the exceptions that were applied.   I think the complete list of tokens is:

    av,sandbox,auth,content,url,ssl,certcheck,certdate,mime,cache,fileextension,size,patience

    Hi Ashley and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Doug answered your question.  At the top of the 'Exceptions' tab in 'Filtering Options' is a [Find] button.  Just copy the domain name from the log there and you will see only the applicable Exceptions for the domain.

    Cheers - Bob

    Our use case for this is more along the lines of looking at logs, ingested through Splunk, and being able to filter off of a name of an exception list not taking into account the checks for this.

    Seeing if a rule has been used, maybe to help us determine if an exception list is used(still used or perhaps last used) or which is the most used, finding a rule then filtering on particular servers, or being able to filter out when a particular one was used to correlate other events, among other uses.
