In this example we are going to add the NAT Policy option
Select NAT Policy under Category 4 (Connection)
In the Log Monitor it should be possible to see events where mapping was applied. In this example the reference number is 17. It is important to note that the number refers to the priority and not the actual NAT policy index number.
Navigate to Policy|Rules and Policies|NAT Rules. Here you will see that the event refers to NAT policy 75 which has a priority of 17.

The grid setting shows how many options are selected.
