New Live Firewall log view
« on: February 01, 2018, 07:03:22 pm »
I really like the new live firewall view, but I wish the normal view was also available since there doesn't seem to be any option to allow the blocked rule to create a new allow firewall rule like there was in the old normal view.

Yes. That's what I thought as well. Would be great to still have the old "normal" view :)

Unfortunately there were quite some bugs and messy code in the old view, which made us decide to remove it and replace it with the new live view.

Maybe we could reintegrate a similar feature at some point in time, although it might take some time to mature (given other plans around the firewall frontend and api ideas)

What would be nice is when the info windows pops up there is a button to create an allow firewall rule

That's what we had in mind. Though that particular effort will need some first iteration of an API as said, hopefully acting as a catalyst for this work item and gathering feedback about what features are actively being used in parallel.

So far we heard: no second thoughts about the reduced search field complexity but concerns about the "easy rule" creation.


Cheers,

Thanks for your feedback, gentlemen.

Well, to be honest, the reduced search field complexity made it in the first instance harder to find my stuff.

However, once I perceive it just like full-text search, I could find almost everything.

Though I yet need to find out how to set more than one filter at a time. F.e. block + LAN doesn't show anything, while block shows LAN items :)


EDIT: block+lan ... did the trick. Funny how ideas sometimes pop up :D
EDIT2: this doesn't do the trick completely. F.e. block+192.168.2.1 doesn't show anything, although traffic related to 192.168.2.1 (source and destination) gets blocked.

Indeed, we've talked about tokenising the search items by whitespace to allow more fine-grained matching.

The only weird trick we need to make known is that ":80" can force the port match.

With these two the search should be both simple and powerful enough. :)

I miss this functionality... hope it finds its way back into production.

Re Search field - it would be nice to have some examples in an advanced help button like some of the other fields...
