Is there a way to have Proactive Bot Defense in Transparent mode (v12)?

I am working on a new DoS profile and would like to not have it block requests but alert on them so I can get a good idea of what configuration tweaks I need to make. Is there any way to only have it...

As of today on v12, PBD does not natively log, nor can you set it in transparent mode. Therefore you can't see what it blocks or even know that it blocked something without a logging irule.

 

PBD is a very immature feature that requires much development before it is ready for prime time.
