Missing description field for Azure Firewall Policy Rule Collection Group rules

@KapilAnanth-MSFT what ever happened to this?

Jarvis,

The issue has been fixed with latest versions of Powershell.

You should be able to see it using,

$ruleCollectionGroup = Get-AzFirewallPolicyRuleCollectionGroup -Name <NameOfRuleCollectionGroup> -ResourceGroupName <RGName> -AzureFirewallPolicyName <AzFwPolicyName>

$ruleCollectionGroup.properties.rulecollection[0].rules[0].description 

We do not have an ETA with Portal as of now.

Should I receive an update for Portal, I shall share the same in this thread

Cheers,

Kapil

@KapilAnanth-MSFT thanks for the update. Definitely let me know if we can push it to the portal, too. Thanks again!

Jarvis,

Sure.

You are most welcome.

Cheers,

Kapil

And when do they intend to resolve it, given that it's the second half of 2024?

Edgar Dockus - Currently, we do not have an ETA

The recommendation is to use latest versions of Powershell.

It does not seem to work via PowerShell either. Or it could be a terraform provider issue. When I set a description on a rule via https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/firewall_policy_rule_collection_group and then check via PowerShell (7.4.4) description field is empty.

Edgar Dockus ,

I did a lab and I was able to see the Description.

I create the Firewall Policy and Rule Collection Group via the Terraform template.

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "fwrg" {
  name     = "fwrg"
  location = "West Europe"
}

resource "azurerm_firewall_policy" "fwpolicy" {
  name                = "fwpolicy"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.fwrg.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.fwrg.location
}

resource "azurerm_firewall_policy_rule_collection_group" "rcg" {
  name               = "rcg"
  firewall_policy_id = azurerm_firewall_policy.fwpolicy.id
  priority           = 500

  network_rule_collection {
    name     = "network_rule_collection1"
    priority = 400
    action   = "Deny"
    rule {
      name                  = "network_rule_collection1_rule1"
      protocols             = ["TCP", "UDP"]
      source_addresses      = ["10.0.0.1"]
      destination_addresses = ["192.168.1.1", "192.168.1.2"]
      destination_ports     = ["80", "1000-2000"]
      description           = "testDescFromTerraform"
    }
    
  }

}

I then try to get the Description field of the rule, using Powershell

$ruleCollectionGroup = Get-AzFirewallPolicyRuleCollectionGroup -Name rcg -ResourceGroupName fwrg -AzureFirewallPolicyName fwpolicy
$ruleCollectionGroup.properties.rulecollection[0].rules[0].description

As you can see, I am successful

Thanks,

Kapil
