Rule Usage Hit Count Query

•	Policies > Rule Usage

Use the rule usage query to filter the selected rulebase over a specified period of time. The rule usage query allows you to quickly filter your policy rulebase to identify unused rules for removal so that you can reduce open entry points for an attacker. Click PDF/CSV to export the filtered rules in PDF or CSV format. To use the Rule Usage Hit Count Query, you must enable the Policy Rule Hit Count setting (Device > Setup > Management).

By default, the Name, Location, Created, Modified, and Rule Usage columns are displayed when you query the rule usage in your policy rule base. You can add more columns to view additional information about the policy rules.
