viewing multiple firewall rules in log viewer filter

XG210 (SFOS 17.5.9 MR-9) - Is there a way to filter for multiple firewall rule id#'s in a single log viewer window? A "starts with" condition wouldn't give the desired result for this example due to the numbering.

You cannot!

What is the reason behind that?

Just off some quick testing it appears the filter for a firewall rule can only show one rule, I did try to do a couple variations in csv format to see if you could add more than one rule but no luck. If you try to add a second filter it replaces the original as expected.

But after looking at the log viewer I would think that you could be more granular in your search terms with an IP address, username or some other factor and use the firewall rule column.

Just some thoughts,

Respectfully,

Uhm. This can be achieved via grep commands but inside the advanced shell, logs are across multiple files and also firewall logs are not easy to find (even impossible).

A grep inside the UI could help.
