Requests Not Being Scanned

Verify the gateway is receiving traffic, the security engine is enabled, and API keys are valid. Check logs for routing misconfigurations or authentication failures.

High Latency

Measure scanning overhead separately from network latency using built-in metrics. Scale threat detection workload, review custom rule complexity, and confirm backend provider availability.

False Positives

Review preset rule thresholds and custom rule logic for overly broad patterns. Whitelist known-safe patterns and monitor confidence scores to reduce noisy alerts.
