URL Category

RC-BHF — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 14:10:01 GMT

We use PA URL Category to block access to some sites i.e. Social media etc.

I would like to export all the category names and their respective settings block / allow / alert etc. to an Excel or Text file.

Can this be done, if so how

If you're wanting something more specific for your enviornment, what I did is I just took this listing about built the spreadsheet with the relevant information that I wanted to have (color coding / comments / and what-not.)

If you're not wanting to build every single line you can output the .XML config file (seen below for how it's output). At the bottom of this file are all of your URL Profiles with the associated categories and actions for each category within the profile. You can use this iformation to integate it into an XLS document:

<entry name="*URL Profile Name">
<description> *Desc*</description>
<alert>
<member>*URL Category*</member>
</alert>
<block>
<member>*URL Category*</member>
</block>
