No logging from Access Control policy

[AlejandroH]

R80.40 JHF 48  on GW and Mgmt

Created a policy using inline app/URLF rules.  I get logging on all the app/URLF rules but no other rules in the access control policy log.  Has anyone seen this behavior before?

[AlejandroH]

Before anyone ask, yes, tracking is set to Log on the rule I want to get logs on.

Can you see more than just the APCL/URLF logs if you fire up the old SmartView Tracker (CPlgv.exe) and look at the logs that way?  If they are there that indicates some kind of log indexing problem.  If the additional logs are not present in the Tracker that indicates some kind of policy configuration issue.

@Timothy_Hall  I went into SmartView and the logs are in there.  Looks like an indexing problem.  Now to find an SK to fix that.  Thank you for the bread crumbs!

OK if you could post a follow-up with the solution that would be great, there seems to be many different ways for this to happen.

What is the hardware configuration of your management?
If it's under spec, Log Indexing is disabled by default.
It can also be manually disabled in the SmartConsole object as well.

Turning on indexing did not resolve the issue but I did find that if I open a log file, I can see all the logs.  I am surprised I would need to do that.  Have either of you seen that?

I've had this issue after upgrading a management station to R80.30. No logs from the security blade, only TP, solved after File --> Open fw.log. Logs were visible continuously after that.

[AlejandroH]

Same here.  Now I am trying to see if I can force that file to be the default.

@Timothy_Hall and @PhoneBoy 

After some looking up, I found that the logs exist but I have to open the log for the day I would like to get from:

There doesn't seem to be a way to make this behavior by default.  Any ideas?
