Statistics on the use of rules
In the active security policy, each activated filter and NAT rule also displays a counter that shows the number of times the rule has been used. When scrolling over the icon with a mouse, a tooltip will indicate the exact number of times the rule has been executed. The 4 levels of use correspond to the following values, according to the percentage on the counter of the rule most frequently used:
![]() |
0% | |
![]() |
from 0 to 2% | |
![]() |
from 2 to 20% (from 2 to 100% if the counter is lower than 10 000) | |
![]() |
from 20 to 100 %, with a minimum of 10 000 times (otherwise the previous level will be displayed) |
To obtain a new indicator, clicking on Reset rule statistics will start a new count. This counter will be reinitialized if:
- One of the parameters in the rule has been modified (except for comments),
- Another policy has been enabled,
- The firewall has been restarted.
If no icons are displayed, this means that the information is unavailable.
