Create an Application List

Create a list of applications you can use to build rules in a firewall policy.

Create application lists to allow or deny traffic to a group of applications. You can have a maximum of 2,500 application lists in a firewall policy. Each application list can contain a maximum of 200 applications.

To import multiple application lists using a .json file, see Import Firewall Policy Components.

    1. Open the navigation menu, and select Identity & Security. Under Firewalls, select Network Firewall policies.
    2. Select that compartment that contains the policy that you want to create the application list in.
    3. Select the policy.
    4. On the details page, select the Applications tab, and then select Create application list from the Application lists table.
    5. Under Policy resources, select Application lists.
    6. Select Create application list.
    7. In the Name field, enter a name for the application list. Avoid entering confidential information.
    8. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a brief summary of the application list.
      Use this field to provide details about the application list to help other users understand its purpose or configuration. You can enter up to 1,000 characters and can edit this field at any time.
    9. (Optional) If you haven't created any applications to use in the list, select Create application. Follow the instructions in Create an Application to create some applications to use in the list. The applications you create are added to the policy and automatically selected in the application list.
    10. Select the Select applications button.
    11. In the Select applications list, select the checkboxes next to the applications you want to include in the application list. Then, select Save selection.
    12. (Optional) If you want to remove an application from the list, select its checkbox, select the Actions menu, and then select Remove from selected.
    13. Select Create.
