Object color codes for CLI

[Davsank]

Heya,

Is there an official list or table to tell me what color is tied to what integer in the 'set color' command under the 'config firewall address'?

Hello Davsank,

Thank you for using the Community Forum. I will seek to get you an answer or help. We will reply to this thread with an update as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Hi,

By default, all the objects are colored black. It would be more apparent to read the color code from a FortiManager, the list and code can be accounted from left to right, top to bottom, please see Color code an object | FortiManager 7.2.2 (fortinet.com)  that shows the colors

Best regards,

Jin

Hi, but that is not helpful.

I don't have a FortiManager handy, and also the guide only shows a screenshot.

I need a simple table like set color = 0 is black, set color = 5 is red, and so forth.

I refuse to believe that in all of your resources, you fail to provide this info for people who may want to configure objects via CLI.

The color codes are as below.

1 is black

2 is blue

3 is green

6 is red and so on...

The below can be found in Fortigate GUI itself under the address object

I created the following diagram to show the codes and color names that are available. I've shown the diagram in FortiManager format to make it easier to spot them when viewing an object in FMG.

I used this script to create objects for testing purposes. Some ppl might find this useful, so I include it here. The CLI script includes the RGB color codes and each Fortinet assigned color 'name' (which you can see in FMG when you hover your mouse over each color when editing an object).

 Some day (if I can find the time), I might try to match HTML standard color names to these colors. And, I intend to create a TCL script that will assign colors to objects using user configurable criteria. I'll post it once I create and test it.
