You can retrieve an external dynamic list from the web server to view its entries and
be sure that your configuration always has the latest information without requiring
manual updates. It's a good idea to look at your external dynamic list (EDL) entries
to assess the information present in these lists. Viewing external dynamic list
entries gives you insights into the threat intelligence being used for security
policy enforcement, and helps you maintain an up to date and robust security
posture.
When you Configure Your Environment to Access an External Dynamic List, you can configure the firewall to retrieve the
list from the web server on an hourly (default) five minute, daily, weekly, or
monthly basis. If you have added or deleted IP addresses from the list and need to
trigger an immediate refresh, use the following process to fetch the updated
list.
To retrieve the list on demand, select ObjectsExternal Dynamic Lists.
Select the list that you want to refresh, and click Import
Now. The job to import the list is queued.
