    Log Only the Page a User Visits

    Generate log entries for only the main page a user visits by enabling this option in a URL Filtering profile.
    Where can I use this?
    What do I need?
    • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
    • NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • NGFW (Managed by PAN-OS or Panorama)
    Notes:
    • Legacy URL filtering licenses are discontinued, but active legacy licenses are still supported.
    • Prisma Access
       licenses include
      Advanced URL Filtering
       capabilities.
    A container page is the main page that a user accesses when visiting a website, but additional pages might be loaded along with the main page. If the
    Log Container page only
     option is enabled in a URL Filtering profile (URL Access Management profile for
    Prisma Access
    ), only the main container page will be logged, not subsequent pages that may be loaded within the container page. Because URL filtering can potentially generate a lot of log entries, you may want to turn on this option, so log entries will only contain those URIs where the requested page file name matches the specific mime-types. The default set includes the following mime-types:
    • application/pdf
    • application/soap+xml
    • application/xhtml+xml
    • text/html
    • text/plain
    • text/xml
    If you enable the
    Log container page only
     option, there may not always be a correlated URL log entry for threats detected by antivirus or vulnerability protection.
