Details

This article provides steps to filter for NSX firewall rules that have enabled logging within a VMC on AWS SDDC, using VMware Aria Operations for Logs (formerly vRealize Log Insight (vRLI)).

Solution

By default, firewall rule logs don’t get forwarded to Aria Operations for Logs. You will need to enable firewall logging for specific rules from the  VMware Cloud on AWS NSX Manager.
When you create a firewall rule (on any of the gateways or on the distributed firewall), you can enable logging on the firewall rule.
To do this, click on the "gear" icon on the extreme right of the firewall rule and switch Logging to 'Yes'

Once this is done, every time this firewall rule is hit, a message is logged in Aria Operations for Logs.

You can utilize various filters in Aria Operations for Logs to filter for these messages. Some of them are given below.

a) Scenario A:

When you need to filter for all Firewall Packet Logs.
Add filter sddc_id contains <SDDC ID>
Add filter vmw_nsxtvmc_firewall_action Exists

b) Scenario B:

When you need to filter for traffic that was dropped due to a firewall rule.
Add filter sddc_id contains <SDDC ID>
Add filter vmw_nsxtvmc_firewall_action contains DROP

c) Scenario C:

When you need to filter for firewall logs based on Source IP and Destination IP
Add filter sddc_id contains <SDDC ID>
Add filter vmw_nsxtvmc_firewall_src contains <IP>
Add filter vmw_nsxtvmc_firewall_dst contains <IP>
