How to export rulebase to html or xls?

Hello all,

Please, anyone know how to export rulebase from Fortigate (not FortiManager) to html or xls?

I need also export IP address, URLs and services added in the firewall.

Thank you!!!!

Hello,

You may consider to download FortiGate configuration file and parse it with notepad/python scripts.

Hi,

there is no built-in tool/way to export rulebase/objects directly into XLS/CSV/etc formats. You can:

Export configuration - it is a structured text file, so it can be parsed with scripts quite easily
Get needed info by using Fortigate API and scripting of some kind.
(Probably) Use some web scraping software to download Fortigate web gui page of interest.
