Use a WildFire Analysis profile to specify for WildFire file analysis to be performed locally on the WildFire appliance or in the WildFire cloud. You can specify traffic to be forwarded to the public cloud or private cloud based on file type, application, or the transmission direction of the file (upload or download). After creating a WildFire analysis profile

, adding the profile to a policy ( Policies > Security) further allows you apply the profile settings to any traffic matched to that policy (for example, a URL category defined in the policy).

WildFire Analysis Profile Setting	Description
Name	Enter a descriptive name for the WildFire analysis profile (up to 31 characters). This name appears in the list of WildFire Analysis profiles that you can choose from when defining a Security policy. The name is case-sensitive and must be unique. Use only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
Description	Optionally describe the profile rules or the intended use for the profile (up to 255 characters).
Shared	Select this option if you want the profile to be available to: Every virtual system (vsys) on a multi-vsys firewall. If you clear this selection, the profile will be available only to the Virtual System selected in the Objects tab. Every device group on Panorama. If you clear this selection, the profile will be available only to the Device Group selected in the Objects tab.
Rules	Define one or more rules to specify traffic to forward to either the WildFire public cloud or the WildFire appliance (private cloud) for analysis. Enter a descriptive Name for any rules you add to the profile (up to 31 characters). Add an Application so that any application traffic will be matched to the rule and forwarded to the specified analysis destination. Select a File Type to be analyzed at the defined analysis destination for the rule. Note that a WildFire private cloud (hosted by a WF-500 appliance) does not support analysis for APK files. Apply the rule to traffic depending on the transmission Direction. You can apply the rule to upload traffic, download traffic, or both. Select the Destination for traffic to be forwarded for analysis: Select public-cloud so that all traffic matched to the rule is forwarded to the WildFire public cloud for analysis. Select private-cloud so that all traffic matched to the rule is forwarded to the WildFire appliance for analysis.
