DESCRIPTION
You can use the profile component to create, modify, display, or delete
a Security log profile for use with Security Logging functionality.
EXAMPLES
create profile my_log_profile
Creates a custom Security log profile named my_log_profile with initial
settings.
list profile
Displays the properties of all Security log profiles.
OPTIONS
antifraud
Adds, deletes, or replaces a single Anti-Fraud Security sub-
profile. You can configure the following options for Anti-Fraud
Security:
encode-fields
Adds, deletes, or replaces a set of antifraud-storage-field
IDs for which the system performs URL-encoding before
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.
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile
belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the strict-updates
option is enabled on the application service that owns the object,
you cannot modify or delete the 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,
modify, and replace-all-with. The options are:
request-type
Specifies which kind of requests the system, or
server, logs.

search-in-query-string, search-in-request, search-in-uri
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
Specifies a storage format in Application Security. You can
configure the following options for the storage format:
field-delimiter
Specifies a field delimiter in the predefined storage

the predefined storage format. Use %k for key and %v for
value. The default format is empty that is interpreted
as "%v", for CSV.
fields
Replaces a set of fields in the predefined storage
format. The order in the set is important - the server
displays the selected traffic items in the log
sequentially according to it.
type Specifies a type of the storage format. The options are:

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,
