Starting Security Director
Release 15.2, you can create a custom column. This is used for tracking
specific notes on rules such as internal ticket numbers, changes to
firewall policy rules, changes in rule ownership, and so on. The custom column is a user-defined column that is appended to
the other columns on the rules page of any firewall policy. Data in
these columns can be captured and saved in the same way as in the
other columns.
Once you enter or modify data in a custom column, you can search
the data. Security Director searches for the data and displays the
results with the policy details and the rules that have the custom
column data.
Note: To create, edit, or delete custom columns, assign the
predefined or user-defined role with the appropriate custom column
privileges to the users.
To create a custom column for firewall policies:
- Select Configure > Firewall Policy > Policies.
The policies page appears.
- Right-click a policy or select Manage Custom Columns from the More list.
The Manage Custom Columns page appears.
- Click the + icon to create a custom column.
The Add Custom Column page appears.
- Enter the following details:
- Name—Enter a unique string of alphanumeric characters,
periods, dashes, spaces, and underscores. The maximum length is 32
characters. This is a mandatory field.
- Validation Pattern—Enter the regular expression
to validate the entered data. For example, the typical e-mail regular
expression looks like this:
^[_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@[A-Za-z0-9]+(\\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)*(\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})$.
This is an optional field. However, if you do not provide the
regular expression, the custom column data will not be validated.
Note: Security Director uses the following parameters to validate
custom column data:
Explicit regular expression—The optional regular
expression property is defined for the current custom column.
Implicit length check—The maximum length of the
data must be 256 characters. It is applicable to all custom columns.
- Click OK to create the custom column.
The new custom column is listed in the Manage Custom Columns
page.
Note: You can create a maximum of three custom columns.
You can view the columns that you create on the rules page of
any firewall policy. Click a policy name to view the rules associated
with the policy. The new custom columns appear at the end of the grid
on the rules page. The custom columns are not specific to a policy
and are visible on rules pages of all the firewall policies.
