FW log entry - what is "Rule Type" and\or "policy_type"?

Setup

  • XG software: SFVH (SFOS 17.0.0 GA)

Question

In both the GUI and syslogs, FW log entires have a "policy_type" field.  I have searched the Net and the XG documentation all to no avail - this field is not defined anywhere I've looked.

Can someone explain what this field means?

The following is the same entry from syslog - I think the same field is called "policy_type" as opposed to "Rule Type" as is found in the GUI log:
