Use Profile Analysis in Security Analytics to investigate profile detections.
Profile Analysis classifies requests with these statuses:
- Conforms: The evaluated request matched its applicable profile.
- Violates: The evaluated request did not match its applicable profile.
- Not evaluated: No applicable profile is available, or the profile does not apply.
-
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Security > Analytics.
Go to Analytics ↗ -
Open Profile Analysis and select a profile.
-
Review conformance trends over your selected time range.
-
Inspect sampled violations for the request component and affected field.
-
Review each sampled violation reason before configuring mitigation.
-
Filter by
cf.schema_validation.learned.violatedorcf.schema_validation.uploaded.violatedto inspect the corresponding source.
A non-conforming request is not necessarily malicious. Releases, new clients, and valid edge cases can produce violations.
Cloudflare runs an always-on detection after a profile becomes available. Detection does not block requests by itself.
After reviewing representative traffic, refer to Enforce profiles with Custom Rules.
