NAT policy rules hit count not visible in .csv export file

[the_rock]

Hey guys,

I was doing some R81.20 lab testing yesterday and its great to see that NAT rules hit count now works consistently, but weird thing is when I export the NAT rules in csv format, I dont see column for hit count.

If I do same for regular rules, its there and I see the actual hit count, like you see it in smart console. I did same for urlf+appc and content awareness ordered layer rules and hit count shows in csv file. I have a feeling maybe this is by design, but not 100% sure. Anyway, not a big deal, just curious : - )

Thanks as always for the help 🙌

Cheers,

Andy

@Tomer_Noy does the export for NAT rules via SmartConsole include hit count information?

If not, this is my unofficial RFE sumbission request ; - )

Hi,

We will look into it for the next version and try to backport it to JHF of recent versions

I had customer ask me about it, but I told them since their S1C instance will be upgraded soon to R81.20, at least they will be able to consistently see NAT rules hit count in the dashboard, so thats better than not see it at all : - ). We were hoping with everything being on R81.10 it would work as well, but sadly not...if they are lucky, works one out of 30 policy installs.

Hi,

Is there any update on this or way to export NAT rules with hit count details. I even tried with mgmt api, looks like the hit count details are not present for NAT rules like in access rules. Please help / share if there is any way.

Hi,

We are working to add a NAT hitcount to the Management API and to the export functionality in SmartConsole.

 We will deliver it to the Jumbo branch as well once ready.

Hello @Youssef_Obeidal 

Do you know if this was already integrated or near integration?

A customer of ours needs this functionality of exporting the NAT rules with hit counts.

Thank you,

@Pedro_Madeira Just for the context, basic csv export shows hit count fine.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I just tested in another customer's R81.20 to export the access control and NAT rule base but I'm still missing hits.

I might be missing some kind of option to include it. The columns I'm getting are:

No.,Type,Name,Original Source,Original Destination,Original Services,Translated Source,Translated Destination,Translated Services,Install On,Comments

Any pointers?

Thank you once again.

Did you make sure 100% hits column is enabled?

[Pedro_Madeira]

Yes. I have the columns enabled.

Do you think I need a more recent version than JHFA T65?

Which version and JHFA are you using to export?

[the_rock]

Im on jumbo 76, but it worked even when I was on way lower jumbo, so thats probably not an issue. Maybe try reboot the mgmt to see if it makes any difference.

I found out what the problem was. I have to have the hits column enabled everywhere for it to be exported, so in Access Control Rules layer, URLF/AppCtrl layer and NAT. If it's not enabled in each one, the export doesn't come out with hits.

I have it working now. Thanks for your tips buddy. You Rock 🙂

[the_rock]

Thats right my friend. Glad we can help 🙂

Best,

Andy
