Firewall Logs with Unavailable Matched Rule and Empty Tracker ID
-
Since upgrading from version 2.7.2 to 2.8.0, I have occasionally been seeing deny logs where the matched rule is listed as "unavailable" and Tracker ID is empty. All of these log entries are for UDP traffic on the WAN interface. I have disabled logging for all default firewall rules in the Logging Preferences, and I can confirm these logs are not related to any recently deleted rules. Is this a bug? How do I fix this?
The rule detail shows the following:
Action: block
Reason: short
Tracker ID:
Matched Rule: unavailableHere is a screenshot of the log view:

That happens if the rule is no longer present in the ruleset when the log page is displayed. So commonly for old logs if it was something dynamically created like a UPnP rule or a scheduled rule.
Those look like reply traffic though so it could just be an expired state and the ruleset changed since.
