Rule UUIDs Always Change

L0 Member

Greetings Community! 

 

Apologies if this has been answered in a previous thread- I couldn't find anything... 

 

When exporting configuration files from PA-3220 I have noticed that sometimes the rule UUIDs are different than the previous config dump and sometimes they are the same. 


Can someone please explain why this is? What causes the rule UUID to change between config dumps when the rule itself has not changed? 

 

TIA, 

Iain

Hello @iaingthompson

 

thanks for posting.

 

I spent some time going through documentation. Based on documentation: Track Rules Within a Rulebase the UUID never changes unless you regenerate UUID from CLI. Is it possible that some of the rules that you identified with a new UUID were actually cloned and later renamed to match name of original policy?

 

Kind Regards

Pavel
