I am a new Fortinet engineer. There are so many things I do not know yet so I post questions here. I do not speak English and I post it through Google Translator. Please understand that this article may not be smooth.

 

I received a question today about what the Policy UUID does, and I could not answer it because I did not know.

 

Please let us know what POLICY UUID does and for what purpose.

It really depends on your logging and report capability and experiences. You can use that in   reports  generation or logging. You can even disable it if you have little  to no uses for UUID

 

Take a look at this  post of mine and the log output .

Bottom line, some finds it useful and others never even uses the UUID
