Hi,

 

It is possible to get the "last used" Counter from the CLI? I want that to do automated by scripting ...

 

Best Regards,

    Hello,

     

    I am not aware of a way to get it from CLI but you can use snmp polling to get the info. It may help

     

    Regards

    I would say diagnose firewall iprope show  100004 <policyid> will give you if the policy was hit , but the last_used date/time is not included. Maybe support has alternative  for diagnose firewall iprope

     

    As far as last use, you should write a log parser and use the UUIDs for the firewallpolicy in your parse jobs.

     

    So example the order would be

     

    To run a list of the policyid  from the get  or show of a firewall. This would be you seed file that you  based the foundations off off. Since each policyid is unique and outside of add/changes, you only need to update the seed list before running the parse job.

     

    ( building a seed from  vd=root )

     

    echo -e "config vdom\n \n edit root\n show firewall policy | grep edit\n " | ssh 1.1.1.1 | awk '{print$2}'

     

    1.1.1.1 would be your  firewall address

     

    Than build   "diagnose firewall iprope show  100004" loop based on the policy-id in the seed  and  weed out any thing that has 0/0 for bytes

     

    e.g

     

    FWWALL (root) # diagnose firewall iprope show  100004  1 2 8 9 11 idx=1 pkts/bytes=0/0 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0 idx=2 pkts/bytes=0/0 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0 idx=8 pkts/bytes=0/0 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0 idx=9 pkts/bytes=8120/5371085 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0

    idx=11 pkts/bytes=1899920/2389353456 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0

     

     

    and

    FWWALL (root) # diagnose firewall iprope show  100004  1 2 8 9 11| grep -v "pkts/bytes=0/0" idx=9 pkts/bytes=8120/5371085 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0

    idx=11 pkts/bytes=1899920/2389353456 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0

     

     

    So know you just need the UUID for firewallpolicy #5 and parse your logs.

     

    echo -e " config vdom\n edit root\n show firewall policy 8 | grep uuid \n" | ssh 1.1.1.1 | grep set  | cut -d "#" -f 2

     

    Outside of that, no easy way. The above suggestion would require you have

     

    1: traffic log

    2: probably logging off disk/memory

    3: Spunk , sawmill ,  ELKstack or loggly would be   great for this btw

    4: have access to the uuid  information

     

    Once you have the uuid , it's straight forward to write queries for  date/time-ranges.

     

    BTW, this is how we audit  fw Ole'school and manually. This helps determining if policies are used or when last-used and track any changes for policies that where working & now that has stopped.
