    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for defining an adaptable monitoring profile for a network. The defined network monitoring profile is independent of the security policy defined for the network and includes one or more log generation rules, each of which defines a logging policy for a set of data compute nodes (DCNs) that share a common attribute. A log generation rule specifies whether the network activities of a set of DCNs that share a common attribute should be logged or not. A log generation rule can also specify other logging parameters such as priority level of the logs and the required logging protocol for transmission of the logs. The logging policy of a log generation rule is associated with a set of service rules (e.g., firewall rules) through a dynamic service group, and is applied to the service rules when any of these rules is triggered.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention introduce cloud template awareness in the service policy framework. Some embodiments provide one or more service rule processing engines that natively support (1) template-specific dynamic groups and template-specific rules, and (2) dynamic security tag concepts. A service rule processing engine of some embodiments natively supports template-specific dynamic groups and rules as it can directly process service rules that are defined in terms of dynamic component groups, template identifiers, template instance identifiers, and/or template match criteria. Examples of such services can include any kind of middlebox services, such as firewalls, load balancers, network address translators, intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, etc.
