live log filtering breaks on '#' character

Remuflon over 7 years ago

For example, if I want to filter on "Packet filter rule #25", I get no results.

By trial and error I have determined that it breaks when I enter the '#' character.

Hi Remuflon,

Can you show us a picture of failure and trials done while using # character.

Thanks

Open any log viewer, such as live log: firewall.

Enter any filter that includes a '#'. All results will stop.

[REGEX] Replace the "#" with a "." or "\#" - Any luck with that?

No, I tried escaping it with every way I could imagine. Nothing works.

I'm kind of surprised that no one else has run into this obvious bug.

Alone among the logs, the Firewall Live Log presents abbreviated information in a format easier to read quickly. Usually, you can't troubleshoot without looking at the corresponding line from the full Firewall log file. Please post one line corresponding to one of the unblocked and blocked above.
