Net Insight ASA Access List Rules needs to display the Interface that the currently shown list of ACLs comes from

Suppose I have a dozen interfaces in an ASA.

Then suppose I use Net Insight to look for ACLs with problems, and I click through a dozen or more screens of ACLs.

Finally, imagine I get a call or a drive by, become distracted, and forget which Interface I'm working on.

There's LOTS of room in the Net Insight screen to display the Interface Name that was accessed to provide the current view:

Why not make that Interface Name part of the header? Or used as a title that explains more about what this view is showing. Especially when we may want to use this in a report, make a screen shot of it to share, with others, etc.

Please vote this feature request up!

And may your packets be ever swifter!

Thanks for the feedback! There's certainly room for improvement here - we are considering adding the interface information as well as breadcrumbs to navigate back to the list of ACLs.

Tyler, I've LOTS of ideas for this (regarding ASA's), now that I can see what's available. Especially being able to build/generate/schedule reports to provide easily used lists of ACL's that need analysis (and possibly correction/changes) due to being redundant, shadowed by higher ACL's, etc.

This is a very cool value add for Solarwinds customers--I know of no other network/configuration management and monitoring solution that provides this insight into incorrectly built ACLs.
