Show where object is in use

Hello,

Greetings,

Unfortunately, it is currently not available with the XG.

this is manual work

you need to export the config as xml and search in external tools for the hosts and services, then delete them in SFOS.

sad but true

Well all these useful features from the UTM - silently buried by Sophos ... yuck !!

Compared to administering the UTM, on the XG I still feel like a Beta guinea pig.

Hi,

if you try to delete an object that is still use you will get an error message  and you will not be able to delete it. Finding it afterwards is the hard part.

It is a 1 minute job but it will give you a correct answer. 

@ Lu CarToni:
yes, this was the workaraound LHerzog already pointed to.
I call it a "workaround" as the UTM has proven years ago, this job can be done better !

And no - it's not a "1 minute job".
My firewall UI stays unresponsible for about 5 Minutes until the export completes.
Including searching the XML I would more call it a "10 minute job" ...

@Vivek Jagad:
huh - wow !
I appreciate such "customer friendly" processes.
Sophos has an open ear for the customers ... after they ran 1 mile, made 10 salto mortale and then jumped through a burning ring ...
What you describe is another firewall - which perfectly protects you Sophos guys from customer requests ...
Shame on you ! 

I would disagree. I see SFOS as a security product. The focus is to protect customer. The highest priority of the firewall would be to give insights in attack vectors, which SFOS does. Next are feature, currently not possible. Then features which are possible with a leap. But there are plans to integrate this feature in the future.
