Multi-category URL in PanOS9

BatD — Fri, 12 Jul 2019 10:41:29 GMT

Can you please help me with understanding the new PanOS9 URL multi-category feature?

Now URL can have up to 4 categories. If the four categories have different actions, I assume that the firewall will take the most restrictive one, however I could not find any reference in the admin documentation explain this. Is this correct and can you share documentation link for it?

Also, which category will show in URL logs, if for example all categories for the same URL are configured with the same action?

@emr_ Thank you, this is the informaiton I needed.

It will be nice if Palo Alt add this to the Admin doc and not in random article, as probably I am not the only one confused.
