Another way to see the allowed URLs in the web filter logs is by performing the steps below. In this way, there is no need to change the action set (from Allow to Monitor) of each category one by one.

 

config webfilter profile
    edit "default"
        set log-all-url enable
    next
end

 

To identify Allowed URLs in the static URL, log in to the GUI of the firewall, go to Policy & Objects -> concerned IPv4 Policy -> Security Profiles -> Web Filter, choose the relevant web filter -> static URL filter -> URL filter, set the keep action category to 'Monitor', and select 'OK'.
