In the VPM, access logging is controlled by which type of objects?

Access logging in a VPM (Visual Policy Manager) is primarily managed by action objects. These objects define the specific actions taken when a request matches a rule in the VPM policy. When it comes to logging access, action objects determine what kind of logging will occur after a condition has been met. This includes specifying whether to log allowed or denied requests, setting the logging level, and more.

The focus of action objects on defining the behavior that takes place as a result of evaluating conditions makes them essential for managing how access logs are generated. They are designed to reflect the desired outcome of applying policy rules, which includes capturing relevant data regarding user activity for security and compliance monitoring.

In contrast, condition objects serve to establish the criteria that must be satisfied for the associated actions to trigger, protocol objects define the specific protocols to which actions and conditions apply, and rule objects are the overall structures that bring together conditions and actions. Therefore, while all play vital roles in VPM policies, it is the action objects that specifically control the logging aspect of access management.
