SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Appliances newly registered and upgraded to SonicOS 5.8.0.0 or higher will receive a 30-
day free trial license of App Visualization by default. 
Navigate to the Log > Flow Reporting page to manually Enable Flow Reporting and 
Visualization feature. You can then view real-time application traffic on the Dashboard > 
Real-Time Monitor page and application activity in other Dashboard pages for the 
configured flows from the SonicWALL application signature database.  
If you plan to use both internal and external flow reporting, SonicWALL recommends 
enabling the following (located in the Log > Flow Reporting screen) after successfully 
registering and licensing your appliance to avoid multiple restarts:
  –
Report to App Flow Collector
  –
Report to EXTERNAL Flow Collector

Application Intelligence + Control - This feature has two components for more network 
security:
  –
Identification: Identify applications and track user network behaviors in real-time.
  –
Control: Allow/deny application and user traffic based on bandwidth limiting policies. 
Administrators can now more easily create network policy object-based control rules to 
filter network traffic flows based on:
  –
Blocking signature-matching Applications, which are notoriously dangerous and 
difficult to enforce
  –
Viewing the real-time network activity of trusted Users and User Groups and guest 
services
  –
Matching Content-rated categories 
Network security administrators now have application-level, user-level, and content-level 
real-time visibility into the traffic flowing through their networks. Administrators can take 
immediate action to re-traffic engineer their networks, and quickly identify Web usage 
abuse, and protect their organizations from infiltration by malware. Administrators can limit 
access to bandwidth-hogging websites and applications, reserve higher priority to critical 
applications and services, and prevent sensitive data from escaping the SonicWALL 
secured networks.
SonicWALL appliances running SonicOS 5.8.0.0 or higher and already licensed for GAV/
IPS/AS, Total Secure, or Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite (CGSS) will receive a 
complimentary license for Application Intelligence and Control (App Control). Note that 
appliances running earlier versions of SonicOS and/or appliances not licensed for GAV/
IPS/AS, Total Secure, or CGSS will receive a 30-day free trial 
Appliances newly registered and upgraded to SonicOS 5.8.0.0 or higher will receive a 30-
day free trial license of App Control by default.
Select the Enable App Control option on the Firewall > App Control Advanced page to begin 
using the App. Control feature. 
To create policies using App Rules (included with the App Control license), select Enable 
App Rules on the Firewall > App Rules page.

Deep Packet Inspection of SSL encrypted data (DPI-SSL) - Provides the ability to 
transparently decrypt HTTPS and other SSL-based traffic, scan it for threats using 
SonicWALL's Deep Packet Inspection technology, then re-encrypt (or optionally SSL-
offload) the traffic and send it to its destination if no threats or vulnerabilities are found. This 
feature works for both client and server deployments. It provides additional security, 
application control, and data leakage prevention functionality for analyzing encrypted 
HTTPS and other SSL-based traffic. The following security services and features are
