MX Firewall Log Tool

[Brash]

Just noticed this appear today under the "Tools" section of the MX.

I assume this is what the 18.2 feature addition is.

I'm only running 17.10.6 so probably why I wasn't getting any hits when trying it out.

Well spotted. Perhaps the next Community contest needs to be spot the unannounced feature @AmyReyes

Kinda weird that I keep seeing L7 logs when I don't even have any L7 rules enabled 

Not perfect but a nice start !

Well it is documented and expected : https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Firewall_and_Traffic_Shaping/Firewall_Logging?mt-draft=true#

A small addition would be from the Network-wide -> Clients you could directly select a client , press : view live logs and it would redirect to the live tool and fill the clients info for you.

Something like that :

Yep, I wouldn't call it completely polished but gosh it's nice to have.

I'm guessing the idea is that it will tell you for each flow which L3 and L7 rule you're 'hitting', even if you're not actually hitting one (eg just default in your case). At least it avoids any ambiguity.

Have you already upgraded the above appliance to 18.2?

[RaphaelL]

Yep running MX18.205 on my home network. 

Having a filter for L3/L7 would be cool too !

Yes it requires 18.2 and it shouldn't even show unless a MX is running 18.2. Known issue and being worked on.
