JNCIA-SEC Content Security Practice Question
An administrator configures Web Filtering to log all requests, but security logs show that requests to permitted sites are not generating log entries. What is the most likely cause?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'log-permitted' option is not enabled within the web-filtering profile.
Web filtering profiles often default to logging only blocked or violation events unless explicitly configured to log permitted traffic using the 'log-permitted' parameter.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The 'log-permitted' option is not enabled within the web-filtering profile.
Why this is correct
Enabling log-permitted ensures that allowed web requests are recorded in the security logs.
- ✗
Permitted traffic bypasses UTM inspection entirely.
Why it's wrong here
UTM inspects traffic to determine if it belongs to a permitted or blocked category.
- ✗
Security logging is globally disabled across the SRX device.
Why it's wrong here
If security logging were globally disabled, no logs at all would appear, whereas blocked logs are visible.
- ✗
The web filtering license does not support logging allowed traffic.
Why it's wrong here
Licenses control categorization features, not log verbosity.
