"Full config" Report

Alias — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 07:59:37 GMT

Hi Mates,

I have a problem I was unable to find the answer to. Please point me in the right direction if I missed sth obvious here.

For context, I am working for a financial institution and we have a bunch of ongoing compliance and revision topics for which we need to report things.

The newest requirement ist a quarterly "full config" report in which all the firewallrules are documented. Leaving the actual usefulness or uselessness of such a report aside, has anybody had to build sth like that? If yes hoe did you do it?

Best I could find so far ist to export the rules as a cvs and format it in a somehow readable format.

Kind Regards

Look into the compliance blade, there are multiple reports there, including "best practices". Not 100% of what you are looking for, but a good start. You can also export rulebases as html files, with additional tools, if you need.

Hey Val,

From the GUI I can only export the csv, you are refering to sk120342 I assume? I am going to check this and see if the compliance blade can help me out

Thanks for the tip

The export as described in sk120342 will do the job. It gives all the necessary informations and I should be able to automate it
