DfwFirewallConfiguration (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
children	Subtree for this type within policy tree Subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. Note that this type is applicable to be used in Hierarchical API only.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource (Abstract type: pass one of the following concrete types) ChildGlobalIdsSettings ChildPolicyExcludeList
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
disable_auto_drafts	Auto draft deactivate flag To deactivate auto drafts, set it to true. By default, auto drafts are enabled.	boolean	Default: "False"
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
enable_firewall	Distributed Firewall (DFW) enable flag If set to true, Distributed Firewall (DFW) is enabled.	boolean	Default: "True"
enforce_duplicate_sequence_number_check	Enforce duplicate sequence number check flag If set to true, the system will prevent creation of new DFW policies when existing duplicate sequence numbers are detected (for policies with same scope and category). Users must first revise existing duplicates using the revise API before creating new policies. This only applies to DFW policies with "applied to Any" scope.	boolean	Default: "False"
global_addrset_mode_enabled	A flag to indicate if global address set is enabled in DFW When this flag is set to true, global address set is enabled in Distributed Firewall.	boolean	Default: "True"
global_macset_optimization_mode_enabled	Global MACSet Optimization Flag MACSet optimization is turned on when this flag is set to true. By default it is set to false.	boolean	Default: "False"
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
idfw_enabled	Identity firewall enable flag If set to true, identity firewall is enabled.	boolean	Default: "False"
idfw_event_log_scraper_enabled	Enable event log scraping This flag is deprecated. Use the alternate flag IdentityFirewallAdStore.event_log_scraper_enabled to enable or disable event log scraping for a given Firewall Identity Store. This flag is only available on local manager and it will be honoured only for Firewall Identity Store created on local manager. The event log scraping for locally created Firewall Identity Store will be enabled, if this flag OR per-domain IdentityFirewallAdStore.event_log_scraper_enabled flag is enabled. To switch off event log scraping for a Firewall Identity Store both this flag and the per-domain IdentityFirewallAdStore.event_log_scraper_enabled flag need to be disabled. This flag is not configurable via the UI. This flag will not effect Firewall Identity Store created on global manager. The event log scraping for globally created Firewall Identity Store will be enabled, if per-domain IdentityFirewallAdStore.event_log_scraper_enabled flag is enabled.	boolean	Deprecated Default: "False"
idfw_loginsight_enabled	Enable Loginsight server for Identity Firewall If set to true, collection of login/logout events from Loginsight server is enabled.	boolean	Default: "False"
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object get deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
origin_site_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for knowing which site owns an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing which site owns an object.	string	Readonly
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified locally by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
owner_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for the ownership of an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing who owns this object.	string	Readonly
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated their unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
remote_path	Path of the object on the remote end. This path is populated only in case of multi-site scenario. Currently it is supported only for LM objects. When LM is onboarded to multi-site platform like NAPP or GM, remote_path will be set to the globally unique path across multi-site topology . It is generated based on local site-name and uses /org tree namespace. Note: It is populated only for LM objects. Not supported on the GM.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value DfwFirewallConfiguration	string	Required Enum: DfwFirewallConfiguration
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entities in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
