Which Filtering option allows the exclusion of events at lower priority?

The Logging Level option is associated with configuring the type and severity of logs that a SonicWall Firewall generates. When you set the logging level, you determine which events are recorded based on their priority. By selecting a higher logging level, the firewall will only log events that meet that specified severity threshold, effectively excluding all events that are of lower priority. This helps in managing log size and focusing on critical events, allowing for a more streamlined analysis of security incidents.

In contrast, the other options focus on different aspects of traffic management or logging that do not specifically address the prioritization of recorded events based on severity. Alert filtering pertains to how alerts are triggered rather than what is logged. Event severity indicates the seriousness of an event but does not control the logging of lower-priority events within the logging configuration. Traffic control focuses on managing the flow of network traffic and does not relate directly to filtering log events based on their priority.
