Reasons for Inspection Failure

Review and understand the reasons why Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) was unable to scan traffic
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) license
    Review the Supported Platforms for details on the required license for each enforcement point.
Or any of the following licenses that include the Enterprise DLP license
  • Prisma Access CASB license
  • Next-Generation CASB for Prisma Access and NGFW (CASB-X) license
  • Data Security license
In some cases, Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) is unable to inspect and render a verdict on either file or non-file based traffic that match an Enterprise DLP data profile, and as a result no DLP incident is generated. However, a log is generated if Enterprise DLP is unable to inspect matched traffic.
  • Strata Cloud Manager—View the File log (Incident & AlertsLog Viewer)
    Apply a Sub Type = dlp or Sub Type = dlp-non-file filter to narrow down the list of file logs.
    If the Reason for Data Filtering Action column is not displayed, expand the menu for any displayed column to search for and check (enable) Reason for Data Filtering Action.
  • Panorama™ management server—View the Data Filtering log (MonitorLogsData Filtering).
    Apply a (subtype eq dlp) filter to narrow down the list of data filtering logs.
    If the Reason for Action column is not displayed, expand the menu for any displayed column and click Columns and check (enable) Reason for Action.
File logs display a Reason for Data Filtering Action and data filtering logs display a Reason for Action column describing what data filtering action was taken by your security endpoint. In this case, the reason why Enterprise DLP was unable to inspect the matched traffic is described. Review the list of reasons why Enterprise DLP was unable to inspect matched traffic.
Reason for Action
Description
Scan Skipped: File Size > Limit
Inspection skipped because the maximum file size limit was exceeded.
To avoid this in the future, you can increase the Max File Size.
Scan Skipped: Latency > Limit
Inspection skipped because the maximum latency limit was exceeded.
To avoid this in the future, you can increase the Max Latency
Scan Skipped: Rate > Limit
Inspection skipped because the DLP cloud service received the maximum number of inspection requests.
Scan Skipped: Out of memory
Inspection skipped because the DLP cloud service memory usage was exceeded.
Scan Skipped: Profile not found
Inspection skipped because the matched data profile cannot be found.
Review your Security policy rules to ensure the associated data profile exists.
Scan Skipped: Scan req timeout
Inspection skipped because the inspection request timed out.
Scan ERR: Rule1 invalid action
Inspected traffic matched the Primary rule in the data profile, but the Action is invalid. The Action must be either Block or Alert.
Scan ERR: Rule2 invalid action
Inspected traffic matched the Secondary rule in the data profile, but the Action is invalid. The Action must be either Block or Alert.
FW Skipped: Resource Limit
DLP cloud service was unable to inspection traffic due to an error when forwarding traffic. This can occur when the firewall memory usage reaches 100%.
FW Skipped: Fail to Start
Firewall was unable to forward logs to the DLP cloud service for inspection because the session between the firewall and DLP cloud service could be initialized. This can occur when the firewall memory usage reaches 80% or higher.
FW Skipped: Transmit Pkts
Firewall encountered an error when forwarding packets or finishing the forwarding operation to the DLP cloud service. This can occur when the firewall memory usage reaches 100%.
Internal Errors
Generic error due to an internal error. Requires troubleshooting by Palo Alto Networks Support to understand the cause of the error that prevent traffic inspection by the DLP cloud service.
