Extract a list of web filters categories from firewall and access allowed inside each one

[Nascimento]

Hey guys!

Recently, the security area of the company where I work asked me for a list with the categories of web filters in the company's internet firewalls and everything that each web filter is allowing access. In the web interface I list all this, but I can't export. Using the command line I also list everything and it's easier to export to a file, but the category names are replaced by ID numbers and the requester won't know how to deal with that. Could someone give me a tip on how we can do this?

Thanks in advance, guys!

Hi @Nascimento 

Thank you for posting your query on the forum.

Currently from FortiGate when you will be exporting webfilter configuration you will see a category in the ID format.

You can refer to the below link to refer the ID number to the category

As @Christian_89  mentioned for checking available category option you can check this from the Fortiguard link.

Follow the above two articles for proper guidance.

Or use this command in the CLI to check :
#get webfilter categories
