Troubleshooting Tip: Applying filters on policies with empty comments field in GUI is not possible in version 7.4
| Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot filtering policies with empty comments. |
| Scope | FortiGate versions 7.2 and 7.4. |
| Solution | It is possible to search policies with no comments in the GUI section of 'Firewall Policy' in version 7.2.x
In version 7.2.x, there is a filter option to apply 'regex' (regular expressions) based filters, as shown in the screenshot below.
To list the policies with no comments, select 'regex' in the filter bar and apply '^$' in the parameter field. It will list all policies without comments.
In version 7.4.x, 'regex' is removed from the filter bar.
When the 'Exact Match' field is left blank, it should list the policies with empty comments, but it fails to work. It will list only the implicit deny policies.
This issue is fixed in versions 7.6.5 and 8.0.0. When the 'Exact Match' field is left blank, it will list all policies with no comments.
