Import Template

Clicking on the Import From Template button displays the Import from Log Category Template dialog that allows you to select and import one of these templates:

• Default
• Minimal
• Analyzer / Viewpoint / GMS
• Firewall Action
• Custom

You can select Custom if you previously saved a template using Save As Custom. If there is no user template saved, Custom option cannot be selected.

The imported template overwrites individual settings. Normally, production environments would not set all Categories/Groups/Events to have exactly the same settings. Before doing this, be sure to save your current configuration using the Save Template option, so that the previous settings can be restored when a mistake is made by using Import Template > Custom. Also, factory default settings can be restored using Import Template > Default.

• Default Template
• Minimal Template
• Analyzer/ViewPoint/GMS Template
• Firewall Action Template
• Custom Template

The Default, Minimal, and Analyzer/Viewpoint/GMS templates are default templates defined in SonicOS.
