logging.
events
Adds, deletes, or replaces a set of events (alert, login) used by the system to log data. You can configure the
following options for each event:
format
Specifies a storage format in Anti-Fraud Security. You can configure the following options for the storage
format:
type Specifies a type of the storage format. The options are:
default
Specifies that the log displays a predefined format and antifraud-storage-field fields.
user-defined
Specifies that the log displays any free text that you type in the user-template which can include
relevant antifraud-storage-field fields for this event.
rate-limit
This option is used to set the rate for the Anti-Fraud log event that can be logged per second, per
virtual-server (per TMM).
user-template
Specifies a user template in the user-defined storage format.
rate-limit-template
Specifies a template for rate-limit event logging.
remote-publisher
Specifies the name of the log publisher used for logging Anti-Fraud events.

profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.
application
Adds, deletes, or replaces a single Application Security sub-profile. You can configure the following options for
Application Security:
facility
Specifies the facility category of the logged traffic in Application Security. Select between local0 and local7.
filter
Adds, deletes, or replaces a set of request filters in Application Security. You can configure the following
options for a request filter:
key Specifies a unique key for the request filter. This option is required for the operations create, delete,

Specifies whether the request logging is dependent on a specific string, and if so, the part of the
request where the system must find the string. You can select only one of these filters, the default is
search-all, which means that the system logs all requests, regardless of string.
values
Adds, deletes, or replaces a set of values in the request filter.
format

displays the selected traffic items in the log sequentially according to it.
type Specifies a type of the storage format. The options are:
predefined
Specifies that the log displays only the predefined items you select in the fields.
user-defined
Specifies that the log displays any free text that you type in the user-string which can include the
predefined items.

field-list
Specifies a set of fields to be logged. This option is valid when storage format type is field-list. The
order in the set is important - the server displays the selected traffic items in the log sequentially
according to it. User can pick fields from the following list: action, attack_type, context_name,
date_time, dest_ip, dest_port, dns_query_name, dns_query_type, src_ip, src_port, vlan.
field-list-delimiter
Specifies the delimiter string in field-list storage format type. The default delimiter is the comma
character, for CSV. This option is valid when storage format type is field-list. Special character $ should
not be used in delimiter string as it is reserved for internal usage. Also, the maximum length allowed for
field-list-delimiter is 31 characters (excluding NUL terminator).
type Specifies a type of the storage format. The options are:
field-list
Specifies that the log displays only the items you specify in the field-list with field-list-delimiter
as the delimiter between the items.
none Default format type. With this option, the messages will be logged in the following format:
"date_time", "context_name", "vlan", "dns_query_type", "dns_query_name", "attack_type", "action",
"src_ip", "dest_ip", "src_port", "dest_port", "route_domain"
user-defined
Specifies that the log displays the message as per the user-defined string format.
user-defined
Specifies the format of log message in form of user defined string. This option is valid when storage format
type is user-defined. Maximum configurable length is 512 characters. Any of the following items, if wrapped
within ${ }, will be substituted with the actual value when generating the log: action, attack_type,
context_name, date_time, dest_ip, dest_port, dns_query_name, dns_query_type, route_domain, src_ip, src_port,
vlan.
name Specifies a dummy name for enabled Protocol (DNS) Security. This option is required for the operations create,
delete, modify, and replace-all-with.
publisher
Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DNS events.
protocol-dns-dos-publisher
Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DNS DoS events.
dos-network-publisher

This option is used to enable or disable the logging of dropped SIP packets.
log-sip-global-failures
This option is used to enable or disable the logging of SIP packets that resulted in global failures.
log-sip-malformed
