FMC Reset Hit count

[shabeeb]

Hi, 

Im trying to find a way to reset the Hit counts on my access control policies. Is this feature available or am i missing something. Everytime i click refresh, the counter changes, but never resets.

Any advices?

TIA, 

Shabeeb

As of FMC 6.6 it's not currently a supported feature. (incorrect)

Correct answer:

Select the rule (or rules) in the Analyze Hit count window and right click. There you are given the option to clear the hit count.

Thanks Marvin.
Fingers crossed for the upcoming releases.

Sorry - I was wrong. See my revised post.

Hi @Marvin Rhoads Marvin, do know how to do this via FMC or CLI for FTD?

[Marvin Rhoads]

@CiscoBrownBelt in the FMC GUI right click on the rule you want to clear the hitcount for once you have called up the Analyze hit count window:

Just to add what Marvin said.

It's also possible via the FTD CLI by using the command clear access-list <ACL name> counters

This will reset the counters for all rules in the ACL, so it might be faster if you want to reset the counters for all rules and not just for a specific rule.

I wanted to clear over 1000 acl lines on all 8 fw, I finally was able to find it.

On FTD, I tried "clear access-list <name> counters" and it did not clear the acl hit counts. 

I had to go to cli in ftd "clear rule hits" and refresh on acl in FMC (why do we have to click refresh, it should refresh when we click to see the acl hit counts).
