Services

This is an overview of services. For instructions on creating or editing services, see the in-application pop-ups. All running processes and services are available for use when writing rules.

However, you can also create your own to services to specify the service type, as well as the ports and protocols the services use to communicate.

NOTE:

Service names can be unrestricted. You can write rules with unrestricted service IDs (SIDs). When there is a restricted SID, you should write rules without the SID. Including the service with a restricted SID type causes the traffic to be dropped and might cause traffic between the Reported view and Draft view to be reported inaccurately.

Services in a Rule

When you create a rule, you can select a service to indicate the allowed communication between entities.
