Log Threat Weight

[syu]

First of all, what is Log Threat Weight? Documents does not really give me a clear view.

Can someone give me a usage scenario of the feature? I am running latest FortiOS.

Normally different events have a different Threat Weight. As an example Botnet C&C Communication is Critical while Pornography is low.

In case you don't care about Botnet Communication (maybe you research it?) you can lower the Threat Weight.

In case you really don't want your users to look for pornography you can increase the Threat Weight to Critical.

You can set up Alert E-mails to notify you once an event of at least "Critical" (as an example) has occured.

Under Threat Weight page, the risk levels are Low, Med, High and Critical. They do not corresponding to standard severity levels...I guess I am still not sure how to be beneficial from the weight setting.
