View objects and their usage

This task enables you to view where objects are used within your system, helping you understand object dependencies and usage across policies and settings.

You can view usage details of objects on the Object Management page. Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center provides this functionality for many object types. However, some object types are not supported.

Step 3

Click the Find Usage (find usage icon) icon next to the object.

After completing these steps, you will be able to see where each object is used within your system, allowing you to manage and audit object usage efficiently.
