Create rules from log entries
You can use log entry details to generate new rules.
To convert a log entry to a rule, the log entry must be created based on a rule (the entry contains a rule tag). Creating a rule this way allows you to make quick exceptions to the current policy. You can create the following types of rules:
- A rule that allows a connection from an entry that logs stopped traffic
- A rule that stops a connection from an entry that logs allowed traffic
- A rule that changes the log level or stops the logging of matching connections
