ASM learning in transparent questions

• What controls learning is the learn flag on the blocking settings page.
• What controls violations is the alarm settings on the blocking settings page.
• What controls blocking is the blocking setting on the blocking settings page.

Given the above, when there is no policy object that permits the access;

• Learning suggestions are reported in manual traffic learning page when the learn setting is set for that violation.
• Violations are reported in logs when the alarm setting is set for that violation.
• Violations are reported when the blocking setting is set for that violation and the policy is in transparent mode.
• Blocking is reported when the blocking setting is set for that violation and the policy is in blocking mode.

Staged entities are policy objects that are not enforceable until they are taken out of staging. Policy objects not in staging are enforceable. For signatures this means they will block malicious behaviour. For policy objects that means they will permit the access specified by the object.
