Technical Tip: Firewall Policy Bytes Column filter missing

Description This article explains the behavior change starting from FortiOS 7.4.0 regarding the Firewall Policy Bytes column filter and many other, different columns/categories.
Scope FortiGate Firewall Policy GUI Page.
Solution

Starting from the FortiOS v7.4.0, the Firewall Policy GUI Page does not allow filtering by Bytes Column.
Before the FortiOS v7.4.X track, Bytes Column filtering was possible.

Here are two examples showing the difference:

 

  • FortiOS 7.2.10:

In addition, the following columns/categories also don't have a filter option anymore from FortiOS 7.4.0:

  • Active Sessions.
  • CPU Bytes.
  • CPU Packets.
  • Hit Count.
  • Packets.
  • SPU Bytes.
  • SPU Packets.

 

A new NFR has been filed to return this feature: 1029120.
Currently, there is no fixed schedule for this NFR or an ETA.
