Can I exclude specific traffic from logging?

With web protection solutions, you can prevent requests for specified categories or protocols from being logged. You can also configure Network Agent so that internal (intranet) traffic is not logged.

When you omit categories and protocols from logging:

  • Requests for the categories or protocols are stilled managed by policies (permitted, blocked, and so on).
  • No record of any requests for the categories is included in the Log Database, so the traffic does not appear in reports.
  • Usage alerts can not be generated for the non-logged categories and protocols.
