Why each option
The raw log indicates that traffic was explicitly denied by a firewall policy and that such a denial constitutes a security-relevant event within FortiGate logging.
If the log shows 'action=deny', it directly signifies that the firewall policy was configured to block the traffic as its specified action.
Without the raw log explicitly stating 'vdom=root', there is no technical basis to conclude that the traffic belongs to the root VDOM, as traffic can originate from any configured VDOM.
Logs indicating traffic denial by a firewall policy are considered security-related events, often categorized under security logs or security event types in FortiGate's logging and reporting.
An 'action=deny' in a traffic log is typically classified with an informational or notification severity level, not usually as an 'error' severity, which is reserved for system malfunctions or more critical issues.
