Category explanations

[damien.ball]

I'm working to identify a few categories and what they mean. I looked in the online help and all it did was list the categories. Is there a document that gives more information about what content filtering categories are for?

Specifically i'm trying to find out the difference between unknown and not-resolved? How are they used in PA?

These two are explained in this tech note.

BrightCloud URL Filtering Exhibiting Multiple Unknown URLs

BrightCloud URL DB behavior for some websites is as follows:

• If the global setting for dynamic-url (set deviceconfig setting url dynamic-url yes) is enabled and url-profile is not, the site returns unknown.
• If the url-profile has dynamic-url enabled, but the global setting is disabled, the site returns not-resolved.
• If both the global and url-profile has dynamic-url enabled, then the site is returned matching the cloud category.
