Show unused rules option

johnm@hydroottawa.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:23:26 GMT

The show unused rules is very helpful but as I work at cleaning up rules after migration it would be really handy if I could clear that flag to see if the new rulesets created are handling all of the traffic before disabling the old rulesets. Is there a quick way to clear that flag so that it starts from fresh?

Thanks in advance

At the present time there is no way to clear this counter without restarting the device dataplane (which will of course cause the device to stop passing/processing traffic during the dataplane restart).

If you wish to be able to clear these counters without a dataplane restart then you will need to file a feature request with your sales team.

Thanks,

I have observered that if you make a "dummy" change to a rule ( e.g changing the only the rule name), that the counter is also reset.

This might help you.
