Micro app discovery breaks firewall rules

Per-OlofLitby

I've been told that in order for application filter rules to work, Micro app discovery has to be enabled. Unfortunately, when it is enabled other things break.

I have created IP groups from all LAN hosts. I want some of them to be immune to any firewall processing so I created a rule on top:

 

 

to allow any traffic from these groups. But when micro app discovery is enabled, the rule is not followed, and secure traffic is simplify blocked. For instance my Amazon Echo devices go offline and my heat pump can't report status to the cloud.

Can someone help? The way it is now makes app policy useless.

    Micro-app discovery is a mode used by sales engineers to quickly turn on several setting that force the system to behave in a certain way, in order to do proof of concept.

    It is not intended for normal running customer systems.

    It is a setting that existed in the cyberroam product that XG is based on.  In the first versions of XG, this was turned on for all systems due to an misunderstanding of the intent.  It was turned off in an update and should be off on all systems.
