Hi everyone,

As per official document, if a request to ES is rejected by traffic filter rules, they will be included in proxy logs.

Can anyone help guide me where I can find these logs? I'm not sure what the `proxy logs` mean here.

Here is the quoted guidance.

> Additionally, traffic filter rejections are logged in the proxy logs as `status_reason: BLOCKED_BY_IP_FILTER`.

> Proxy logs also provide client IP in `client_ip` field.
