Identify which Packet filter (firewall) rule was used to allow or block?

Short of enabling logging for all firewall rules, is there some way of seeing which rule allowed or blocked certain traffic? Something in console/command line?

  • Could you try a Policy Test (available as the other tab when you View Logs)? It's mainly to test web policies, hence the name, but does give information on firewall rule matches.

    Or maybe Diagnostics > Connection List with appropriate filtering? (I just tried this and in my particular use case it unfortunately shows "No Rule" for the Rule ID, so maybe not foolproof.)

    Or maybe Diagnostics > Packet Capture? That seems to show Rule ID.

  • The only Policy Test I see is under the web protection/policy helpdesk. This becomes disabled when webfiltering is turned off.  I'm on a home license if that makes a difference.  Maybe I'm not looking for it at the right place... What's the exact path?

    I don't see diagnostics/connection list either.

    Are you in UTM or XG?  I'm using UTM.
