How to Create an Application Object

  • Last updated on

An application object is a reusable combination of predefined applications and custom applications. You can use application objects to create your own set of applications with custom Include and Exclude lists.

With Barracuda CloudGen Firewall version 8.3.0, a new feature 'Policy Profiles' has been implemented. Policy profiles are centrally managed, (pre-)defined rules for handling network traffic and applications. Instead of creating application objects, you can also switch from the application ruleset to the Policy Profiles view and configure application policies. For more information, see Policy Profiles and How to Create Application Policies.

    Select the applications that you want to add to your application object and either drag them to the Application Set section or click the plus sign (+) that appears on mouse-over in the Name column.

    You must always include the Base component of the application.
