Explanation

Threat logs are generated only when traffic matches a Security policy rule that has a corresponding Security Profile attached (e.g., Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, Vulnerability Protection, URL Filtering, File Blocking, WildFire). Simply matching a Security policy rule (B) does not create a threat log - the rule must also invoke a Security Profile that inspects the content and detects a threat. Not every blocked session (C) or dropped connection (D) generates a threat log; those events are typically captured in Traffic logs. Threat logs are specifically for content-inspection findings triggered by Security Profiles.
