Question

As a best practice, logging at session start should be used in which case?

Options

  • AWhile troubleshooting
  • BOnly on Deny rules

Session-start logging creates a log entry the moment a session opens, then another when it closes, effectively doubling log volume and storage load. This overhead is only justified during active troubleshooting - for example, when you need to confirm that a long-lived session was seen before it terminates. Best practice is to leave session-start logging disabled in production and enable it only while diagnosing a specific issue.
