**Limitations**

- Policy activity data is not displayed for managed clusters running a version older than this release.
- Rules with `action: Log` are not tracked by policy activity. The `Log` action is a diagnostic tool that writes to the kernel log (iptables) or trace pipe (eBPF); it is not part of the policy evaluation scope. Only terminal actions (`Allow`, `Deny`, `Pass`) and their associated rules appear in policy activity data.

- **Logs require traffic**: Policy activity logs are only generated when a rule is evaluated by traffic. Resources that have never been hit will not appear in these logs. You cannot identify them by querying for "old" logs; you must identify them by their absence from the active log data (as performed in the comparison steps above).
- **Long-lived connections**: A policy evaluation is logged only when a connection is established. If a connection remains open for a long duration (e.g., longer than your 90-day query window), the associated policy may not generate new logs, potentially making it appear "unused" despite actively carrying traffic.
- **Log action rules are not tracked**: Rules with `action: Log` are not recorded in policy activity logs. The `Log` action is a diagnostic tool that writes to the kernel log (iptables) or trace pipe (eBPF); it is not part of the policy evaluation scope tracked by policy activity. Only terminal actions (`Allow`, `Deny`, `Pass`) and their associated rules appear in policy activity logs.
