Hello Sir, In the case of Deny rules, the traffic is denied immediately when it matches the criterion defined in the security policy so the start and end of the session should be the same. As such you'd be fine, just logging at the start of a Deny policy. You'd not have to wait for the FIN/ FIN ACK to determine the end of the session. So, for a deny rule (I.e. that it starts to deny at the moment the daytime allow rule is switched off by a schedule) will not be able to close/deny for an ongoing session, untill and unless you are applying a "commit force" command or enforcing "session rematch". So, as per my understanding the scheduler policy will be applied to a newly created session, nor for a running session through the PAN firewall. As per my understanding, most of the leading vendor firewall is working like this. ( Example- PAN, Juniper SRX). If you have any further questions or inquiries, please open a case with PAN support, we will help you to fulfill your requirements. Thanks Please mark as correct answer or helpful if appropriate.
