Monitor Mode

About

As long as the TR7 WAF is in Monitor Mode, the rules taught to the system and the logs are followed. In monitor mode, requests are not blocked, but their logs can be viewed in WAF Logs on the TR7 ASP web interface. This mode is "What would happen if we put it in Blocking mode?" It was designed as an answer to the question. It is put into Blocking Mode by waiting in this mode until the level of false-positive decreases to a minimum in the vService.
