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

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

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

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 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.

options for the storage format:
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.

following options under this:
filter
Following options are available which enable or disable the logging of corresponding protocol sip
events:
log-sip-drop
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.
