i have a log paloalto, but I do not understand some of the intent of the contents of the log. can i explain what is the purpose of url = 384 , ThreatContentName = 384, Category=0,Reportid=7, Severity = 2017/06/07 10:36:53, Recipient = from police.

is there a paper, documentation or something that discusses it?

Is it possible a collumn was shifted and this is actually the byte count? what is shown in the GUI if you open the detailed view of this log?

Normally 'from-policy' should be located in the collumn 'action_source' (meaning 'who decided what to do with this session'), so I believe your log collumns are incorrect

 

secondly: The log is regarding a non-syn-tcp packet. This type of packet is normally discarded as it is not part of a normal session and can be malicious. In this case it is being allowed through so it appears you have a manual override in place to temporarily allow these packets.

 

I'd recommend re-enabling the tcp check to drop these types of packets
