Advanced DNS Security Software Blade Location?

OK I give up, where is the Advanced DNS Security Software Blade located for viewing/configuration in R81.20?  Perhaps it is configured from the command line somewhere, as I can't find it in the SmartConsole.  Or is this one of those "under the hood" black box things that Threat Prevention does?

I don't think it's a separate blade per se, but part of NGTX suite (correct me if I'm wrong).  Per the release notes:

 

AI Deep Learning prevents 5x more DNS attacks in real-time. The feature it is part of the NGTX license, and is enabled when the Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus blades are active For more information see:

sk178487 - ThreatCloudClosed DNS tunneling protection.

sk175623 - ThreatCloud Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) protection.

I know every time I see your post, chances are only Phoneboy, Val or someone from R&D can answer it 😊. I also had been looking everywhere for it and so far no luck...

Thanks, strange that they are calling this feature several different names.  Looks like it is all under the hood anyway.

We've been doing DNS Security via Anti-Bot/Anti-Virus for quite some time with the intelligence being in ThreatCloud.
I believe we've added some "under the hood" things in R81.20.

Any chance @PhoneBoy I can get a few sample log cards showing an Anti-Bot DNS Tunneling and Domain Generation Algorithm prevent action?  I can't seem to find any samples anywhere, and the settings for these features don't appear to be exposed in the SmartConsole GUI.  Thanks!

I'll ask around, but I haven't seen any.
