NSX Distributed Firewall is used to create firewall rules to control traffic between networks.

For further reading, see the VMware NSX-T Data Center Administration Guide (https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-T-Data-Center/index.html#com.vmware.nsxt.admin.doc/GUID-4B6A4A87-F9C7-4AAB-923F-C6B84C33AF7D.html)  for more information on configuring firewall rules.

The health status of an NSX Service Instance is an indicator of the overall health and functionality of the service.

For an NSX Service Instance to show as Up, the following two parameters must be functioning:

D. VMs must be available on the host - The VMs that are associated with the service must be present on the host and able to communicate with the NSX Manager. If a VM is not available on the host, the service will not be able to function properly.

E. VMs must be powered on - The VMs that are associated with the service must be powered on and running. If a VM is not powered on, the service will not be able to function properly.

The NSX administrator has enabled logging for the distributed firewall rule, and the logs are stored in the /var/log/dfwpktlogs.log file on the ESXi host. This log file stores the packet logs for the distributed firewall rules, and the logs can be used for auditing and troubleshooting the distributed firewall.
