Export IPS traffic recordings
You can set IPS Inspection rules to record network traffic as a logging option in both the Exceptions and the Rules tree.
These recordings are stored on the Log Servers. Recordings generated by the Excerpt option are shown directly in the Logs view. Longer recordings, however, are meant to be viewed in an external application and are not directly viewable.
Tip: To display the Hex pane, select .
To view the recording, you can:
