How to Create a Custom Application Object

  • Last updated on

If the default Application Control pattern database does not include an application that you want to use in your application rules, you can create a custom application object. Select a template for an existing application, and configure it to match the application that you want to drop, throttle, prioritize, or report.

Create a Custom Application Object

  1. Go to FIREWALL > Application Objects.
