I trying to clean up my FW logs and l can't seem to hide the logs for the automatic DCHP access rule. I tried to override it with a pass rule with logging disabled but realized it's a quick rule. Is there a check box, FW rule, or some other secret sauce that can hide this log?


The attached SS is my attempt at overriding the rule with another. I have the log enabled to see it catch the traffic, which it does. Just after it's already been let through by the Quick rule. The Idea was if it supplanted the automatic rule. I would just turn off the logging for the manual rule.

To be clear. I don't want to block traffic, just drop the logs.

Here are the Rules creating the logs. It would be great if the log disable/enable button worked for the Auto rules.

Thanks for the response.

I knew someone would bring up that option and should have stated that I'd rather not quiet everything with one click. It could hide something getting through an automatic rule that could cause me a headache years down the road after I've forgotten all the automatic rules are hidden. More granular control would be better. Something like a checkmark that enables the green/yellow exclamation mark button on the automatic rules. I know asking for a feature that I and possibly a few others could use, is probably not going to happen. If it is possible to do it in a config file somewhere. Like disabling it and using my own rule. I'm not afraid to ssh in and dig around. I just don't really know where to start digging. Or if it's possible.

I know I'm just chasing my tail over basically nothing, and I should just filter out DHCP requests when looking at the live view. I suppose that's why it's there. It is just the only thing I haven't been able to remove from the logs that I've tried to do. When you have 99% of a goal finished, it's just kinda hard to leave that 1% unfinished.
