Checking for Web Proxy Restart on Commit
Some configuration changes you make to the Web Security appliance trigger a Web Proxy restart when
you commit the changes. When the Web Proxy restarts, the Web Security appliance allows web traffic
to continue but there is a brief interruption of Web Proxy services, such as anti-malware scanning.
Typically, the Web Proxy uses less than 30 seconds to restart due to a configuration change. (If the Web
Proxy restarts due to an internal error, the entire restart process may take a few minutes to start all
services on the appliance.)

To minimize the security risk from web traffic that goes unscanned, you can determine if your
configuration changes will trigger a Web Proxy restart before you commit them. You can then schedule
to commit your configuration changes for a time when the Web Proxy processes fewer user transactions,
such as overnight. How you check for this depends on the interface:
