WebBlocker Selective Logging in HTTPS Proxy
When setting up a HTTPS Proxy Action, under WebBlocker, you can apply a WebBlocker policy and can choose to either log all categories or no categories. However, when directly editing a WebBlocker policy or using the policy in an HTTP proxy, you can individually select categories where logging will occur. It would be nice to be able to selectively log categories in the WebBlocker section in an HTTPS proxy action the same way you can elsewhere. Our reasoning - we block advertising and trackers and, because this is logged, our security dashboard in Watchguard Cloud is very near useless because it is so congested by advertising related entries. This prevents us from using this dashboard to aid in effectively protecting our company.

FYI - If you do Inspect in the HTTPS proxy, then the HTTP proxy action WB action will be used for the logging, not the HTTPS proxy WB settings.
"For HTTPS requests that match a domain name rule with the Inspect action, the proxy uses the WebBlocker profile in the HTTP proxy action to filter the content."
