ruleOrder

Indicates how to manage the order of stateful rule evaluation for the policy. STRICT_ORDER is the recommended option, but DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default option. With STRICT_ORDER, provide your rules in the order that you want them to be evaluated. You can then choose one or more default actions for packets that don't match any rules. Choose STRICT_ORDER to have the stateful rules engine determine the evaluation order of your rules. The default action for this rule order is PASS, followed by DROP, REJECT, and ALERT actions. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on your settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide.
