Policy

This page will help to show you how the CSV file is formatted when used to import and update rules in a policy.

CSV Structure

When importing a CSV to create rules or modify them, the file MUST have the following fields in this order:

Name,Type,Description,Tags,SourceZones,SourceAddresses,NegateSource,SourceUsers,HipProfiles,DestinationZones,DestinationAddresses,NegateDestination,Applications,Services,Categories,Action,LogSetting,LogStart,LogEnd,Disabled,Schedule,IcmpUnreachable,DisableServerResponseInspection,Group,Targets,NegateTarget,Virus,Spyware,Vulnerability,UrlFiltering,FileBlocking,WildFireAnalysis,DataFiltering

The easiest way to make the modifications all while adhering to this order, is to export the policy first (using the --action export), and then modifying that file.

Here is an example CSV file of a policy that has been exported:

policy.csv

Importing and Modifying Rules

Any field that you want to add or modify you need to have a value there, but at the very least, you MUST have values in the following fields:

Name, Type, Action
