You have enabled "Extended Log" as a tracking option to a security rule. However, you are still not seeing any data type information. What is the MOST likely reason?

Identity Awareness is not enabled.
Log Trimming is enabled.
Logging has disk space issues
Content Awareness is not enabled.

The correct answer is: Content Awareness is not enabled.

The most likely reason you are not seeing any data type information despite having enabled "Extended Log" for a security rule is that Content Awareness is not enabled. When Content Awareness is enabled in Check Point, it allows for more detailed logging of the types of content being handled by the security rules. This feature is specifically designed to provide insights into the types of data that are passing through the firewall, such as file types, applications, and protocols used. Without this capability turned on, the extended logging feature will not capture or display the additional data type information that you would expect to see. While Identity Awareness is also an important feature that enhances user identification for logging purposes, it primarily focuses on user-related information rather than the specifics of the content being logged. Log trimming and disk space issues could affect the overall logging capabilities, but they would not specifically account for the absence of data type information from the logs when extended logging is utilized. Therefore, for comprehensive content logging, enabling Content Awareness is essential.
