Description
This article provides the CLI commands that are available on FortiOS v6.0 to clear statistics per policy.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
GUI Method:
'Right-click' on the policy (under Bytes filter) and use the 'Clear counters' action:
CLI Method:
To show the statistics of policy <policy_id>, run the following command:
diagnose firewall iprope show 100004 <policy_id>
For example:
diagnose firewall iprope show 100004 2
idx=2 pkts/bytes=144967/135758174 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0 hit count:663
To clear the statistics for this policy:
diagnose firewall iprope clear 100004 2
diagnose firewall iprope show 100004 2
idx=2 pkts/bytes=17/1814 asic_pkts/asic_bytes=0/0 flag=0x0 hit count:1
Note:
When the counters are cleared on the policy in FortiOS, the following occurs:
- Information removed: Packet and byte statistics for the specific policy are reset to zero.
- Information retained: Configuration settings and details of the policy remain unchanged.
The policy itself is not deleted: only the traffic statistics associated with it are cleared.
