Absent firewall log entry comments in gateway firewall (NSX-T 3.1.3)

Hi,

I enabled logging with comments for a firewall rule in gateway firewall, but for some reason the comment part is absent from corresponding log entry. Is this a feature or a bug?

I get entries like this into edge syslog, but without comments it's hard to pop them up in log analytics.

I reply to myself. I confused Log Label and Comments attributes. Seemingly the former is not present at all in Gateway Firewall and the comment is just for describing the rule for other admins.

However this log label to GWF would be really useful and supposedly not a big thing to implement. Is there a feature request about it already placed?
