Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An illustrative embodiment of a method for firewall rule use counting receives log messages comprising one or more log data sets from each firewall rule in a particular network whose counts are to be tracked in a log collector, generates a network trie for each reference database in a set of databases and a device source trie and a device destination trie for each firewall device in a plurality of devices of the particular network, a source port and protocol list and a destination port and protocol list for each respective device, a unique object for each log data set received; a mapping database comprising an entry for each log data set received associated with the unique object; and feeds each entry in the mapping database through a topology model to also generate a reference to a unique firewall rule on a respective device in the plurality of devices. A count associated with the unique firewall rule is incremented using a count of logs stored associated with the respective unique object and a report is generated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer program product for firewall rule use counting, the computer program product comprising: one or more computer recordable-type data storage devices containing computer executable program code stored thereon, where the computer executable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to: receive log messages comprising one or more log data sets from each firewall rule in a particular network whose counts are to be tracked in a log co…
