Rules and rule sets<br />

About rule elements<br />

Action — Continue<br />

Settings — None<br />

Impact — Lets processing continue with the next rule after the rule that<br />

triggered this action.<br />

This action does not affect a user and accordingly no settings are needed for a user message.<br />

For a list of the available actions, see the List of actions in the appendix.<br />

Events<br />

If the criteria of a rule matches, an event or several of them can optionally be triggered. For example,<br />

if an object is found to be virus-infected and blocked, an event can be triggered that writes an entry for<br />

the blocking action into a log file.<br />

The way an event is executed can be configured through parameters and settings. For example, the<br />

text of a log file entry can be specified as an event parameter and rotation of the log files as part of the<br />

event settings.<br />

Other activities executed by events are, for example:<br />

• Setting a value<br />

• Adding a request header<br />

• Incrementing a counter<br />

For a list of the available events, see the List of events in the appendix.<br />
