Unified Firewall Abstraction laYer for Automation

UFAYA is a Python SDK that provides a single, consistent interface for interacting with firewalls from multiple vendors. Instead of writing separate automation scripts for each firewall platform, UFAYA exposes a unified abstraction layer that normalizes firewall operations across different systems.

The design follows the same architectural principle used by tools like NAPALM, which provide a unified API to interact with devices from different vendors through an abstraction layer.

Supported Vendors

Vendor	Driver	Status
Juniper SRX	juniper_srx	Read-only XML ingestion + firewall-rule JSON export with live policy hit counts + XML-first NAT JSON export
Palo Alto	paloalto	Skeleton
Fortinet	fortinet	Skeleton
Cisco	cisco	Skeleton

Juniper SRX exports

JuniperSRXDriver.export_rules_json(output_dir, mode=...) writes a context-grouped JSON document for parsed security policies.

• Export modes remain minimal, enriched, and debug.
• Export payloads now use schema_version: 3.
• Each exported rule includes a canonical hit_count field.
• In live mode, UFAYA fetches show security policies hit-count | display xml | no-more and populates hit_count when that operational snapshot is available.
• The live hit-count parser supports both older policy-information responses and newer Junos operational XML variants such as multi-routing-engine-results with policy-hit-count-entry records.
• In file mode, or when the live hit-count snapshot cannot be collected, rules still include hit_count: null.
• Live exports that successfully collect hit counts also include a top-level hit_counts_collected_at UTC timestamp.
• Hit-count parser maintenance notes live in JUNIPER_HIT_COUNTS.md.

JuniperSRXDriver.export_nat_json(output_dir, mode=...) writes a context-grouped JSON document for parsed Junos NAT rules.

• NAT export is XML-first in both modes:
  • live mode fetches show configuration | display xml | no-more
  • file mode reads the XML file passed via config_path
• NAT parsing walks <security><nat><source>, <destination>, and <static> from configuration XML.
• NAT export modes are also minimal, enriched, and debug.
• NAT payloads use schema_version: 1.
• Exported NAT rules use a vendor-agnostic, rule-centric shape with canonical match and translation blocks.
• Enriched and debug NAT exports also include referenced translation pools under supporting_objects.translation_pools.
• NAT lookup metadata records Juniper precedence as static, then destination, then source.
