Network Firewall

Using the Network Firewall subject area, you can create reports and dashboards to analyze and visualize Network Firewall resources and their associated firewall policies across tenancies and compartments.

With these reports, you can track the configuration, lifecycle state, associations, and inventory details of Network Firewall resources to gain visibility into network security coverage and policy usage.

Business Questions

The subject area can answer the following business questions:

  • What network firewalls are currently deployed across all tenancies and compartments?
  • What is the configuration state (for example, active, provisioning, updating, terminated) of each network firewall?
  • Where (which compartments and regions) are each of my network firewalls located?
  • Which VCNs and subnets are associated with each network firewall?
  • Which compute instances, databases, OKE clusters, and other OCI resources are protected by each firewall?
  • Are there any VCNs, subnets, or compartments not protected by any network firewall?
  • What firewall policies and rule sets are defined and linked to each firewall?
  • What are the key configuration details for each firewall (display name, description, policy version, and so on)?
  • When was each network firewall created and when was it last updated?
  • What changes (additions, removals, or configuration updates) have occurred for network firewalls over time?

Logical Model

The Network Firewall subject area is based on a relationship-driven logical model.

A Network Firewall fact table is connected to the following dimension tables:
