Smart Console filtered rule export, including resolved object details

[Markus_Malits]

Hi,

one of my customers is having a challenge with exporting filtered rules to CSV. 

This is AFAIK not possible at the moment in Check Point R8x SmartConsole - and I think it should be low hanging fruit to develop, and a feature that adds to reputation as the premium  gold standard GUI in firewall management.

What are your opinions to that one? 

Quick set of screenshots to make the problem clear:

In demomode filter for a subnet

use export to csv

realize the export is containing all rules, and that there is no "export filtered rulebase" option

When this would be considered to be developed by R&D, it would be nice to have a possibility to export the relevant  list of objects / groups as well.

The usecase for this customer is to report all relvant  rules (and have the details about srcs/dsts) for a tenant, while rules are spread across the rulebase of this perimeter firewall.

Looking forward to your comments

Best regards
Markus

Seems like a reasonable RFE. @Dima_M

@PhoneBoy hats was exactly what I thought as well. So I had a session with Jim Oequist as well, and he has taken it in for a rfe. I wanted to put this one for discussion through the community as well - since, as usual, the business case question was raised, and @Dorit_Dor told us check mates is also considered as r&d input channel 🙂

Hi guys, thanks for your inputs.  Check Mates is definitely a valuable input channel for us.  

We're reviewing the request, stay tuned for updates.

Thanks,

Hello, any update of this feature?

👍

Our local SE communicated to us that R&D will NOT put this one on the Roadmap.

We need to solve it by using Smart Console Extensions, which we plan to do for the Customer.

Hello ,

After migrate from Cisco ASA , where you could easily have a show access-list | inc 192.168.10.xxx for finding the rules , now with CP its almost impossible to have this simple output .
I found Markus post and he describes exactly what i also would like to achieve .
Is there any update regarding this ?

I haven't seen this among the features for R81, at least.
