logging

purview-application-policy

Enables DPI application recognition logging. It also sets the logging level.

DPI analyzes packet and packet content headers to determine the nature of network traffic. When enabled, the Purview™ DPI engine inspects layer 7 traffic to identify applications (such as, Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and extract metadata (such as, host name, server name, TCP-RTT, etc.) for further use by the WiNG firewall.

Supported in the following platforms:
