Dashboard Log widget icon question
-
When viewing the log entries in the widget on the dashboard, the "Act" column shows an "X" icon.
I assumed that meant I could click on it to remove the entry. But it does nothing (even though I get a different cursor when I hover over it).
When I hover over it, I see info about the rule that triggered the action. Since I thought it was a removal icon, I thought it was odd to see the hover over help text.Should the entry remove when clicking, or is the finger cursor incorrect?

I'll check into this

The X is what it shows for traffic that was blocked (that's the action column for the log entry). Hovering shows the rule #. It used to require clicking the X to get a pop up that showed what rule caused the action, now just shows it on hover. It's correct as is. Log entries cannot be deleted.

That makes sense. I was just confused by the cursor change then, perhaps.
I'd say my suggestion would be to maybe have a note icon for the help text, with the crossed-circle indicating that something was blocked (prohibition sign:
).At the very least, an "X" for blocked but without the cursor changing as though it is clickable (since that doesn't appear to be required anymore).
-
The cursor changes because clicking that icon causes a pop-up to appear with more details of the log entry.
This code was broken, but I just fixed it. I'll push the update in a few minutes.
Also note that the icon changes depending on whether the log entry came from a block, reject or match. No dobt we will review the choice of icons before beta.

Thanks Steve, sounds good.
And thanks for all the fast updates.
