This read-only Gauge32 counts the number of times this rule has been hit in the LAN-to-WAN direction on this specific VPath, measured over the past active minute. An admin uses this per-path, per-rule figure to see how actively a specific application's outbound traffic is currently being classified on the path to one particular remote site, as distinct from that rule's activity on other sites. For example, a rule for a video conferencing app showing a high LAN-to-WAN hit count on the VPath to one branch during its business hours, while showing zero on a branch in a different time zone, matches the expected regional usage pattern.
