Security Rule Set Simulator

Run the Security Rule Set Simulator on the following rule tree nodes:

Rule: To run the simulator on a rule, select the rule in the Rule Editor and open the Security Rule Set Simulator. If you run the simulator on a rule, the simulator tests only the rule, even if the rule uses the Continue processing action.
Rule Folder: To run the simulator on the rules in a rule folder, select the rule folder in the Rule Editor and open the Security Rule Set Simulator. If you run the simulator on a rule folder, the simulator tests all the rules in the folder. Even if the last rule in the folder uses the Continue processing action, the simulator stops at the last rule.
Rule Set: To run the simulator on all the rules in the rule set, select the rule set in the Rule Editor and open the Security Rule Set Simulator. The simulator runs through the rules in the rule set and applies the processing actions.
