I'm not sure what you want by "as it operates".  Shorewall(6) only creates rules, and AFAIK, the rules aren't dynamic (barring some things like failover setups).  You can see the various rules after shorewall starts (e.g. all the chains with shorewall show). Of course, the rules can include logging, so you can see what happens *as a result* of those rules, at the packet level, in the kernel log.  Other than tail -f /var/log/kern.log, I am not sure what else can be done to monitor what shorewall is doing, tools like tcpdump.

Hi there,

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorewall) states that "A monitoring utility packaged with Shorewall can be used to watch the status of the system as it operates and to assist in testing.". Can you tell me which utility they are referring to ?

Best,
Luca
